In November 2012, she was indicted on federal charges related to the sexual exploitation of her 14-year-old daughter, including taking her to Canada to have sex with a man there.
[1][2] Biron graduated Valedictorian from Franklin Pierce College in 2005 where she earned her undergraduate degree in criminal justice.
[3] She is the author of "Constitutionally Coerced: Why Sentencing a Convicted Offender to a Faith-based Rehabilitation Program Does Not Violate the Establishment Clause", an article in the Connecticut Public Interest Law Journal.
[7] On September 29, 2012, Brandon Ore, an 18-year-old from Merrimack, told Manchester police officers that he'd seen child pornography on Biron's laptop computer.
After a forensic search turned up five videos and two pictures of her daughter having sex with an unknown man, Biron was arrested that day and charged with seven counts of possession of child pornography.
[2] The Federal Bureau of Investigation was called in almost immediately, as Manchester police suspected the videos and pictures had been produced out of state.
[1] Agents from the FBI, United States Customs Service, United States Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement discovered that Biron had taken her daughter to Niagara Falls, Ontario, on Memorial Day 2012 and coerced her into having sex several times over a three-day period with a man Biron had met on Craigslist.
Two days later, on November 16, Biron was awaiting a probable cause hearing to determine whether there was enough evidence against her to put her on trial on the state charges when FBI agents entered the courtroom and whisked her to the federal courthouse in Concord.
She had not only placed an ad on Craigslist, but had somehow acquired 200 rounds of ammunition and had been seen having sex and using marijuana, ecstasy and cocaine on several occasions—in some cases around children.
According to John Kacavas, the United States Attorney for New Hampshire, this charge was based on evidence that Biron had recorded herself having sex with her daughter.
[13] The case attracted some additional notoriety due to Biron's ties to the ADF, designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
"[17] Prosecutors also presented evidence that Biron plied her daughter with alcohol and drugs to lower her inhibitions[18] and had tried to coach her testimony in court.
As part of a deal with Canadian prosecutors, Watson was granted immunity from prosecution in Canada in exchange for his testimony.
[21] Biron's attorney, Jim Moir, called no witnesses, instead claiming that the government could not prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Biron complained that while she was incarcerated at Federal Medical Center, Carswell while completing a treatment program for sex offenders, prison officials wrongfully deemed her 144-page manuscript on Christian morality and sexual conduct to be contraband and confiscated it.
