A crazed Pennsylvania woman is accused of facilitating the sickening rape of a 7-year-old girl and taping the abuse before showing it to other children, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Ariel Hiestand, 33, is facing a dozen charges, including rape, for her alleged involvement in the gruesome sexual assault carried out by the evil accused Edward L. Williams, who was arrested last week.
Hiestand, of Ephrata, allegedly pressed the 7-year-old victim into the attack, which the 54-year-old Manheim man carried out, capturing it on film, the Lebanon County District Attorney’s Office said, according to PennLive.com.
The abuse took place on the night of January 14 until the next morning, prosecutors alleged.
Hiestand then showed the video of Williams sexually abusing the girl to other children, the district attorney’s office alleges.
Hiestand admitted to the disturbing allegations while talking to detectives, prosecutors allege.
“Hiestand was later interviewed by members of the Lebanon County Detective Bureau and admitted that the child had actually disclosed to her that she was abused by Edward Williams and that she told the victim that she had to allow him to abuse her again,” prosecutors said, Lebanon Daily News reported.
He also faces involuntary sexual intercourse with a child, aggravated indecent assault on a child and endangering the welfare of a child, as well as child pornography charges, the newspaper reported.
He was arrested Friday just days after Williams was arrested and charged with rape of a child, involuntary sexual intercourse with a child and two other related felony charges, Pennlive.com reported.

Williams was arrested after authorities saw a video of the abuse, according to prosecutors.
The young victim told a nurse that Williams would touch her inappropriately when the couple would have a movie night together, the DA’s office said.
The second child told police that although Williams would rub her arms and legs, he did not rape her because he knew she would alert the authorities, prosecutors said.
