She wanted to educate people — so she delivered hundreds of porn-filled Easter eggs, cops say
With schools shifting to online classes, a Florida woman thought teachers needed extra help.
Abril Cestoni, 43, faces several charges after deputies say she put plastic Easter eggs containing pornographic images in mailboxes across Flagler County for educational purposes.
Residents began finding the lewd eggs on Palm Sunday. In the following days, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office received numerous calls from locals who had discovered the packages.
Multiple reports of a woman, later identified as Cestoni, distributing the eggs Wednesday evening in a single location led to her arrest. When deputies pulled over her 2004 silver Honda Civic just before 11:30, she was very candid about her deliveries.
Cestoni “admitted to placing the items in the mailboxes stating that she was educating people,” the sheriff’s office wrote Thursday on Facebook. “There was a bag full of pornographic material inside the vehicle and she told deputies that she had distributed over 400 pamphlets in the past few days.”
Though Sheriff Rick Staly said in an earlier post that Cestoni might be spreading COVID-19, deputies said she did not display any symptoms.
Cestoni was subsequently arrested on several charges including distributing obscene material, driving with a suspended license and violating the executive order that barred all nonessential travel.
Jail records show she’s being held in Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on $7,000 bond, according to the sheriff’s office.
Court records show Cestoni has two open cases related to a separate offense of driving with a suspended license.
