In addition to performing various sexual acts on the child, the victim told investigators Ade would “take pictures of her without her clothes on.”
He also showed the child photos of a nude woman, according to the affidavit.
O July 7, officers went to Ade’s home and arrested him.
During a search of his home, police stated they found the nude photo the victim described as well as coconut oil she said was used to perform certain acts.
