(MyCentralJersey) A transgender woman was sentenced Friday to 25 years in prison for forcing the 7-year-old daughter she fathered to participate in child pornography.
Marina Volz, 32, of Franklin, was sentenced, along with three others, by Superior Court Judge Peter Tober for their roles in running a child pornography production company in their Coburn Lane home in Franklin Township.
Also sentenced Friday were Ashley D. Romero, 28, formerly known as Adam Romero, Sean Allen, 54, and Dulcinea Gnecco, 21.
Assistant Somerset County Prosecutor Brian Stack told the judge that the quartet was a “vortex of darkness” that “snuffed out” the girl who was taken from her mother in Oregon to New Jersey to be in the child pornography.
“They are incapable of redemption,” Stack said, adding that it was “difficult to find the words” to describe the crime.

While not delving into the details of the crime, Tober said it involved neck collars, a cage in the basement, sex toys and other devices.
“If this was not heinous, cruel and depraved, I don’t know what is,” the judge said.
