‘She’s great’: more charges mulled against taboo author

A Christian charity marketing executive accused of producing child abuse material could be hit with more criminal charges as her erotic novel is scanned line by line.

Lauren Tesolin-Mastrosa, 33, came to the attention of police and the courts after writing the book Daddy’s Little Toy under her pen name Tori Woods.

The Sydney woman issued a pre-release of the novel to about 20 advanced readers in March.

The following month, Tesolin-Mastrosa pleaded not guilty to possessing, disseminating, and producing child abuse material.

Her lawyer Mickaela Mate argued at the time that the book was “a fantasy within a fiction” and that there were no victims.

Ms Mate returned to Blacktown Local Court on Thursday, when prosecutors said further charges over the novel were being considered.

NSW Police had prepared a 10-page synopsis summarising the novel, the court was told.

The DPP was endeavouring to get hold of the actual book in order to assess its contents, solicitor Milijana Masanovic said.

Prosecutors were looking into the appropriateness of the charges already laid and whether any more should be brought, she said.

Tesolin-Mastrosa’s police interview, police statements and digital records of her two mobile phones still had yet to be compiled in the full brief of evidence, the court was told.

She will next appear in court on July 31.

Ms Mate successfully applied to vary her client’s bail conditions on Thursday.

The Quakers Hill woman will now only have to report to police once weekly instead of three times.

Magistrate Bree Chisholm found Tesolin-Mastrosa had no risk of flight or not appearing in court as she had no criminal record and had strong community ties.

Outside court, Ms Mate said her client was doing well.

“She’s great,” she said before getting into her waiting car.

In April, Ms Mate said the allegedly offensive content was between fictional characters who were two consenting adults.

“(It) is a fantasy within a fiction and hence there are no victims.”
