Long Island child therapist admits sharing baby rape porn
A depraved female Long Island therapist has confessed to sharing horrific videos and photos of baby rape online — where she also got a sick kick out of pretending to be a dad who raped his own kids. Renee Hoberman, a 36-year-old licensed social worker from Plainview, pleaded guilty in federal court in Islip on Wednesday to distributing child porn videos on the social media app Kik, including the rape of a baby less than one years old, federal prosecutors said. She told investigators that she got off on the stomach-churning content, which she shared in 2024 while she was working in Melville as a therapist with children 17 and under.

Facebook / Rina Hoberman 'The defendant … admitted to distributing extremely vile and unthinkable videos depicting the horrific sexual abuse of babies. The videos the defendant distributed and sought for her own perverse pleasure showed the most innocent members of our society being restrained and violently raped,' stated US Attorney Joseph Nocella, Jr. 'The defendant's crimes should outrage and offend every decent member of our society,' he added. Advertisement One nauseating video shared by Hoberman depicted a baby between six months and one-year old being held down and raped by an adult man, prosecutors said. She also participated in perverted online chat rooms in which she posed as the father of several children and claimed to have sex with them. Renee Hoberman worked as a child therapist on Long Island. Facebook / Rina Hoberman Hoberman chatted under several usernames, including 'badgurl854,' 'AlwayzSpnkednkd,' 'prettyprncss2388,' 'Daddywhospanks Naked,' and multiple others during the disgusting incidents, which allegedly occurred between June and October 2024. Advertisement 'The user further claimed that 'he' would have anal sex with the children and would punish the children by getting naked, stripping the children naked, and spanking them while the other children watched,' the criminal complaint stated. Hoberman also uploaded two videos showing child sex abuse, which she claimed were the man's children, prosecutors said. She even invited one sicko to visit 'his' family in New York to spank and sexually abuse the fictional kids. Authorities zeroed in on Hoberman after they received several tips about the abuse from Kik. They found child sexual abuse content in a hidden folder on her phone, and she admitted to sharing child pornography on other messaging apps.

Long Island child therapist pleads guilty to sharing baby rape pornography
A Long Island child therapist admitted Wednesday she collected and shared baby rape videos online, and even pretended to be the one doing the raping in online chats. Renee Hoberman, 37, who also goes by the name Rina, pleaded guilty to receipt and distribution of child pornography in Long Island Federal Court, after she posted several videos on the social media network Kik. Based on federal sentencing guidelines, she could face roughly 10 to 12½ years in prison, with a mandatory five years behind bars when she's sentenced Nov. 18. Hoberman has been a licensed clinical social worker since December 2020, state records show, and a now-deleted online profile described her as a therapist in Melville, L.I., serving children from birth to 17 years old. In her off-time, though, she was posting videos to Kik between June and October 2024 that showed violent sexual acts against several children between 6 months and 2 years old, according to a criminal complaint. The videos spurred several tips to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, according to the complaint. The videos came from accounts tied to Hoberman, with names like 'badgurl854,' 'Daddywhospanks Naked,' and 'troublegirl2434,' the feds allege. Hoberman also pretended to be a man in a chat on Oct. 16, claiming she raped and punished children while others watched, and invited the person she was messaging to visit 'his' family in New York to spank the children, according to the complaint. When Homeland Security Investigations agents raided her Plainview, L.I. home last year, they found more child porn, and evidence she sent child porn via the Telegram app, according to the complaint. She told the agents she is sexually aroused by violent depictions of children from infancy to age 3, according to the complaint. 'The defendant, a licensed social worker, admitted to distributing extremely vile and unthinkable videos depicting the horrific sexual abuse of babies,' Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella said in a statement Wednesday. 'The videos the defendant distributed and sought for her own perverse pleasure showed the most innocent members of our society being restrained and violently raped.' State records show she surrendered her social worker license in April because she 'could not successfully defend against allegations of distribution of child pornography.' Hoberman remains held without bail in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Her lawyer did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
