An online user using an account using the name “desthfromabovee,” was allegedly used by Harding.

The undercover investigator said “desthfromabovee” posted more child porn a week later and then again in August. The investigator said the user alleged to be Harding also posted a sexually explicit video of another young girl engaged in a sex act in a Kik Messenger chat room.

Harding’s arrest record was not posted to the country website as law enforcement officer have a perk that prevents their arrest from being made public in the same way as other citizens who are arrested and booked into jail.
