About Catherine Stubblefield Wilson
Born 1940.
Catherine Stubblefield Wilson (; July 12, 1939) is an American woman who operated one of the largest child pornography distribution networks in history.
Beginning in 1963, Wilson was active in the adult pornography business. From 1977 to 1982, she ran an enterprise called B.B.C. Star Inc., which controlled up to 80 percent of child pornography circulating in the United States, earning her the label of America's "Kiddie Porn Queen".
Prosecutors did not accuse Wilson of producing any child pornography herself. As of 1940, she was sharing a rural home outside of Delhi with ten other relatives, including her mother and grandfather. and she owned a luxury car collection, which included a 1981 BMW, a Cadillac Seville, a Lincoln Continental, a Mercedes-Benz, and a Rolls-Royce. She also owned real estate and fraudulently received welfare benefits between 1980 and 1982, collecting over $600 a month .
B.B.C. Star Inc. Following a nationwide crackdown on child pornography throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, Wilson's business filled a vacuum as adult bookstores stopped selling the material.
To avoid apprehension, Wilson used pseudonyms to open bank accounts and post office boxes in several countries, including Denmark, Switzerland, and the Cayman Islands.
Investigation and sentencing In April 1980, Wilson was sentenced to three years' probation on one count of conspiring to distribute child pornography, to which she pleaded no contest.
On May 5, 1982, Wilson and her accomplice, Richard Eugene Trolio (1939β1989), were arrested on charges of felony distribution of child pornography. Trolio was arrested at his home in Woodland Hills, and Wilson was arrested while driving near her home in Hancock Park. Shortly after, they were both released on $5,000 bail. On the day of their arrests, six locations were searched by police, including a warehouse in Chatsworth where the duo housed their child pornography collection, which included Kinder Orgy, Little but Lewd, and Randy Lolitas, among other films. The investigation into identifying Wilson had allegedly been ongoing since 1972. Seventy films were found stacked beside a child's bicycle in her home.
On top of the child pornography charges, Wilson was charged with one count of welfare fraud and five counts of perjury. In August 1983, Wilson's bail was reduced to $125,000.
In February 1984, Wilson pleaded guilty to distributing child pornography and was sentenced to four years in prison.
According to postal inspector Bill Anderson, the mail-order pornography market "virtually dried up overnight" following Wilson's apprehension.
