An East Northport mother is accused of producing sexually explicit photos of her 15-year-old daughter.

Prosecutors say the woman sent the pictures to male minors.

They say the daughter reported the abuse to a school principal and a counselor in February after friends told her about an imaging circulating around the victim's school.

The abuse has allegedly been ongoing for three years, since the victim was in sixth grade. Prosecutors say that the girl's mother physically abused her if she didn't comply.

The woman was arraigned March 14 on a 54-count grand jury indictment for use of a child in a sexual performance, promoting and possessing a sexual performance by a child and child endangerment.
