Court documents detail the charges leveled against Warden resident Pamela Ortega which one veteran Grant County investigator called “pure evil.”
Authorities say that Ortega has admitted to sexually abusing her eight-year-old daughter, six-year-old son and a two-week-old infant she was babysitting.
Grant County law enforcement agencies became aware of the abuse in April when a source in Europe contacted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children saying Ortega had offered her daughter to him for sex.
During an interview Ortega admitted to police that she video chats with men online. One of the men, via webcam, would “show her how he has sex with his daughters ... ages 8 and 11” and then “[Ortega] would demonstrate on [her daughter] in return.”
This and other sexual abuse occurred, investigators believe, over a dozen times.
According to court documents Ortega also performed sexual acts upon her son for men via webcam. Ortega says she was “peer pressured into doing it” by men watching online and each event lasted “between 5 and 15 minutes.”
Ortega also forced her children to sexually stimulate her and said that those acts were watched by “two or three other guys … on the internet at the time.” She also sexually abused a two-week-old infant at the behest of a man watching on a webcam but stopped when the baby began crying.
Ortega admitted that she set up sexual liaisons for her children with men she met online but claims the actual meetings never happened.
Investigators say the men involved in these sexual shows live everywhere from the Tri-Cities and Spokane to countries all over the world.
Pamela Ortega has no previous criminal record. She is currently being held in the Grant County Jail on $200,000 bail; she has been isolated from other inmates for her own protection.
According to law enforcement officials her children are now safe.
A federal investigation into Ortega is ongoing.
