Cache: Perdue had amassed so large a collection of graphic videos and photos depicting children she had trouble keeping track of them

Mrs Perdue is alleged to have amassed so large a collection of graphic videos and photos depicting children she had trouble keeping track of them.

The 42-year-old, who lived with her attorney husband in one of Dallas's most expensive areas, reportedly told police she traded in the illegal images every day.

Perdue was arrested last year after unwittingly trading child porn with an undercover detective, the Dallas Morning News reported.

According to court documents, the housewife admitted to the FBI that she has been distributing child porn since 1999.

In April 2012, police officers armed with search warrants raided her $1.4million, 4,000-square-foot mansion and seized her computers, where they found a large cache of X-rated videos and still photos.

Agents say the images were extremely graphic and showed children — some of them toddlers — having intercourse with adults.

Police began their investigation in January 2012 after undercover officers made contact with Perdue on file-sharing programs.

The socialite used the name 'Classybitch' and unknowingly shared images with the undercover agents.

Perdue told investigators she was on the computer swapping and collecting child porn even on the day of the raid.



'She also confessed that she used file-sharing child pornography every day,' agents wrote in court documents.

Perdue’s mansion is across the street from a children’s playground, yet agents don’t believe any of the victims are local. Her 2010 Chevrolet Camaro had vanity license plates that read 'MY SYN'.

The married socialite was released on bail in May 2012, but was rearrested the following month after violating her release condition. She has been behind bars ever since, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
