A Tallahassee piano teacher was arrested on Friday after authorities discovered she was trying to sell sexual breast-feeding videos.

The videos included 31-year-old Leigh Felten breast feeding a toddler. The videos sometimes involved Felten rubbing oil on herself and the child and other sexual acts, according to court documents.

Felten taught private piano lessons to children and young adults, according to her website. She is in the Leon County Jail facing charges of cruelty toward a child, promoting sexual performance by a child, lewd and lascivious behavior and molestation.

Officers were tipped off to Felten when a Wisconsin man downloaded several videos and paid for them using a PayPal account.

A lieutenant with the Crawford County, Wisconsin, Sheriff’s Office said the video “was clearly not done for the purpose of education or artistic display. Based on the content, and the fact it is being sold by Felten, it is clear this video is for sexual purposes,” court documents said.

The Wisconsin man’s wife said he also traveled to Tallahassee to have sex with Felten, according to court records.

A Tallahassee Police Department investigator found a Google+ account with the same email address as Felten’s YouTube page with a post that read, “New unlisted vids for a donation. Please support a single mommy.”

Investigators searched Felten’s home on Friday and found similar videos on a laptop, according to court records.
