An Austin man accused of producing child pornography had his parental rights to his children terminated Friday in Mower County court.

Anthony Edge and his wife, Deborah, face a combined 11 counts of federal criminal sexual conduct charges for allegedly producing several videos and images of child pornography in their Austin home. Deborah voluntarily gave up her parental rights to the Edges’ four children in June.

The Edges invoked their Fifth Amendment rights in a parental rights termination trial Friday morning as their federal and state criminal cases are still pending.

Yet an Austin police detective and a Mower County guardian ad litem testified that Anthony purposefully recorded minors as a way to access an adult web site, and the four Edge children are traumatized over the charges.

“They will probably be in therapy the rest of their lives,” over the allegations, guardian ad litem Todd Schoonover told the court.

Authorities raided the Edge home in late March after they were tipped off by The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about child pornography on the chat website Omegle.

Omegle tracked a Feb. 22 video chat and captured 26 images of an elementary-age girl performing sexual acts with an adult male, according to a court complaint. While authorities initially thought Anthony was involved in making the video, an analysis showed the video caught on Omegle was a commonly known child pornography clip instead.

Police found two computers at the Edge house, along with recordings of a teenage girl showering. Officers found pinhole cameras inside the house and interviewed a victim, who was unaware she had been recorded. Defense attorneys say Anthony installed the cameras for he and his wife to use, but prosecutors allege Anthony purposefully bought the motion-sensor cameras to record child pornography.

Later, state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents found a different video of Deborah talking with a naked elementary-aged child in a bathroom, according to court documents.

Authorities found another image of Deborah naked from chest to the thighs holding a pornographic image of an infant.

Detective Mark Haider told the court that Deborah told investigators the videos and images were made so Anthony could be admitted to an illicit adult web site. Other child pornography was found on the computer, Haider said.

Anthony previously registered as a sex offender after he was convicted in 2006 of possessing nude pictures of minors. He was charged in 2004 in Olmsted County after police found about 2,300 images of child pornography on a computer he left behind at a former residence.

The Edges will face a hearing in January to follow up on the ruling.
