The 24-year-old woman was identified as Inez Lambert. Lambert was arrested after a friend saw 3 separate videos on Lambert’s computer and called the child abuse hotline. The videos allegedly show Lambert performing a sex act on the child. The videos were described by members of the Multnomah County Child Abuse Team as very disturbing. Lambert allegedly sent the cell phone videos to a man who is currently overseas. Investigators are highly concerned that other acts of abuse occurred due to Lambert’s previous occupations. She was a day care provider at LA Fitness and also worked the front desk at a 24 Hour Fitness. Officers are looking into whether Lambert every babysat for other families.

Lambert is entitled to an attorney and will be presumed innocent until proven guilty. People who commit sexual abuse against a child are depraved in every sense of the word. Many incidents of child abuse go unreported because of the abuse occurs in isolated environments. However, in this incident a friend reported the abuse and now the perpetrator is being prosecuted criminally. If you know of or suspect someone is a victim of sexual abuse please contact local authorities or a child abuse hotline immediately. Doing so will prompt a criminal investigation and stop the abuse.
