Wealthy Mom Pleads Guilty To Secretly Filming Adults, Child To Satisfy 'Sexual Desire’

Does this old lady still get horny?

I don't see how filming people in their underwear is a turn-on.

What a weird story.

Oh c'mon, somebody here must know SOMETHING!

[quote] Dave Collins, a veteran Associated Press reporter who covers Connecticut cases, argued at a Feb. 1 hearing that Palmer's case should remain unsealed, noting that wealthy people often seal cases for their own benefit, according to the New York Times. He made clear that the case file, if public, could still have all information about the victims redacted.

She's going through a divorce. What an interesting element- I wonder if the husband paid this reporter for this.

[Quote]Oh c'mon, somebody here must know SOMETHING!

Why yes, yes I do.

Love her outfit.

That is a weathered 53 years. Like an old flag, tattered and worn, flapping desperately in a stiff New England wind, trying to regain some of it's youthful glory, to no avail.

Surely this is not how the typical sturdy, salt of the earth, laconic Yankee ages.

[quote]Hadley Palmer

She sounds like the heroine of a William Inge play.

Were there semen-laced cupcakes?

[quote] As part of her plea deal, two more serious charges — employing a minor in an obscene performance and possession of child pornography — were dropped.

WTF? They dropped the child pornography charges?

[quote] Blawie responded by claiming "there is no two-tiered justice," according to the New York Times.

Sure, Jan.

[quote] Were there semen-laced cupcakes?

I had three!

My guess is she took the fall for her teenage son, who was involved in a vandalism incident on martha's vineyard a few years ago. Either that or, as her marriage ended, the husband looked through the house's security camera footage and found images of their kids' friends. Not only was she not charged with possession but she wasn't charged with dissemination, either. How else would somebody know she possessed recordings that were made 5 years ago and never sent to anybody?

It's also extremely weird how she was not repped by a criminal defense attorney but someone from family law.

I think you are right, R12.

I agree R12. Another article on the charges notes that a child psychologist was also accused of not reporting information in connection with the incident. It sounds like something related to taping the son and friends occurred and the family hushed it up, but the father is now using it against the mother in their divorce.

Her uncoiffed, unadorned visage says "New England," but she lives in Greenwich and is essentially a New Yorker whose money comes from Wall Street.

She's rich and didn't get some decent plastic surgery?

Update. Very shady.

I wonder if it was something like she recorded her sons to see if they were gay. And they all want it sealed b/c then both the son and the other boys who engaged in activities with him would be outed. But I am not sure how to work that she compensated a minor for doing the video into the explanation. UNLESS she paid OFF a minor, and said it was in exchange for engaging in the activity?

As far as content or purpose of video, I don’t know.

The timeline is odd.

The original arrest was in 2021 for an act from 2017.

“Palmer was arrested in 2021 on charges including employing a minor in an obscene performance, conspiracy to employ a minor in an obscene performance and second-degree child pornography in 2017. On Jan. 19, she pleaded guilty to three counts of voyeurism and risk of injury to a minor, all felonies.”

There’s the nasty divorce:

“Palmer has also been involved in a contentious divorce since 2020, court records show. Hadley and Bradley Palmer were wed in New York City in 1992 and had four children together, three of whom are now young adults.”

And the child psychiatrist, who was probably treating her child (the minor in the video) through 2017 and beyond and knew about the incident.

I think it all got drudged up via the husbands divorce strategy.

Sentencing happened Friday. Scant details.

“According to The Associated Press, Paul Ferencek, the Stamford-Norwalk state’s attorney, revealed new details about the crimes, saying that the victims were recorded unclothed on video without their knowledge or consent and the images were used for the sexual pleasure of Ms. Palmer.”

What a strange story

Can’t she just stick dildoes in her old cooter like everyone else?

R12 makes sense.

Setting up hidden cameras for masturbation purposes just doesn’t seem like something a…middle-aged…mother of four would do. She probably doesn’t even know how to set her TV’s remote control.

It does, however, seem like something a young man would do.

Looking at their life from the outside, I might have been jealous. But nobody’s life is perfect, I guess.

[quote]She sounds like the heroine of a William Inge play.

R8 I'm not trying to argumentative, I'm just curious: Which William Inge play, or plays? I'm thinking of Picnic, Come Back, Little Sheba, Bus Stop, and The Dark At The Top Of The Stairs, and I can't think of any character with a name like Hadley Palmer.

R25, yes you are.

Pictures of the mansion and the son or it didn't happen.

[quote]In an unusual decision, John F. Blawie, a judge for the Fairfield District Superior Court in Connecticut, sealed the case against her, the Associated Press reported on Monday.

I guess her wealthy family doesn't want the details in the press.

"Unusual decision" - well, it's not so unusual when you think about the favors that were probably called in. I hope this judge is investigated for making an "unusual decision." It should automatically trigger some form of review when a judge does something out of the ordinary that seems to favor a one side in this manner vs. a trial error for appeal.

R26 No, I'm not. You are, actually.

I'm more interested in 1950s theater than in this subject. I haven't read or seen every Inge play so I was just curious what character that name suggested. That's why I said I'm NOT being argumentative...so that my question would NOT be construed as argumentative.

Is it possible she employed a female (or male) minor in hopes of entrapping her then-husband in some sort of statutory rape scenario? Although that does seem sort of far-fetched and Ryan Murphy-ish.

[quote]Is it possible she employed a female (or male) minor in hopes of entrapping her then-husband in some sort of statutory rape scenario?

Geez, in many ways, that would almost be worse, wouldn't it? That scenarion reeks of entitlement and psycho manipulation.

Lovely house (you're welcome R27)

Her PornHub channel was amazing.

Hang this bitch by her waddle. Wtf, people are sick.

Hadley in makeup and better days.

Doesn’t the husband come from money, too? This seems like a scorched earth divorce strategy. This will have repercussions for the kids.

I was thinking that maybe she had a boyfriend and made the videos for him. Then they watched them together, making the assertion that she watched them for sexual pleasure pretty believable - she wanted to get her boyfriend worked up.

Yeah R36, divorces really do turn people into fucking vile pricks. His kids will suffer from this for years.

She is the daughter of Jerrold Fine. She’s a member of the chosen people, not a WASPY New Englander.

At R35, it doesn't look like she's wearing makeup there and it doesn't look like "better days." Husband's smile looks fake.

Amazing house.

I hope the cast Patricia Arquette in the inevitable Lifetime mini series.

Hadley Palmer (R)

R32 That outdoor sculpture, lower right. I can’t. My ex mother-in-law had a sculpture of feet under her glass coffee table, but this is a whole other level of horror.

I wonder who the unidentified person is? "Each of the victims, he said, were filmed in various states of undress, some fully nude, without their knowledge or consent. The videos, the prosecutor said, were made “to arouse her [Palmer’s] sexual desire” – and that of another, unidentified, person"

R32 Thank you, dear!!! New build, and very nice. Great location.

"This lady's ex-husband, Brad Palmer, was recently galavanting in Antarctica with his 30 something year old girlfriend, Daniella Plattner, at some summit (Day Breakers) attended by a bunch of trust fund babies trying to find purpose in their lives. All of these people are disgusting."

That's a rough 54

R47 She’s 27, she had a hard life!

Weird story. Who's the third person? A boyfriend of hers? It would be unusual for a woman to do this of her own accord - it's more likely that a man would have got her to do it. I think the secretly filmed people were friends of her daughter.

There was another article where the journalist said that the case would conveniently only appear on the website on court dates - it would be taken down on other dates. There is definitely someone trying to hide this case away from public view which reeks of corruption.

"Legal experts told the Associated Press - whose reporters opposed the seal - at the time that it was a highly unusual move for her file to be sealed immediately and many say she did not even qualify for accelerated rehabilitation.

They demanded to know why she was able to hide from public view, when other defendants have not.

Many have wondered if Bradley exposed his wife's doing to police, after divorce documents revealed he sought to look at her social media for evidence she been romantically or sexually involved with someone.

The divorce records indicated that wealthy financier had grown suspicious of Palmer.

Bradley had filed a motion back in July to get her social media accounts, along with any videos or photographs she may have sent to anyone she had been romantically or sexually involved with, according to a February report by The New York Times.

According to the Stamford Advocate, it was revealed at the socialite's sentencing on Tuesday that the victims in the case had requested Palmer serve no further jail time, and that she shared the illicit recordings with an 'unnamed third party.'

A mysterious man, who was not identified, was seen hugging and kissing Palmer in the conference room prior to the sentence. He was seen folding his coat's hood toward his face to hide his identity. "

Wait, R50, the husband's name is Bradley? Bradley and Hadley? jfc.

Is that a lap pool? Water feature? Fountain?

Therapeutic bath for the dogs?

R43, that looks like a real person.

This lady was FREAKY.

[quote] It would be unusual for a woman to do this of her own accord

Not true. There have been many female pedophiles. People just didn’t discuss it.

Hadley Palmer sounds like she had a life of pastels, free of work and lots of travel.

What right does the ex have to her social media accounts?

"There have been many female pedophiles."

R56? MANY links or it didn't happen. And in my many years of reading, the vast majority of "female pedophiles" are doing it to please a pedophilic man.

I was thinking this was Mom watching the security cams in the pool house while the teens changed and experimented sexually and she got off on the tape, especially the strapping second string LAX player who’s best friends with her son getting head from his girlfriend. And then the husband caught her finding it on the house cloud computing system and has been using it as leverage in the divorce case. But I don’t really see a pool house in those photos.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

re: the picture linked to above - that's the guy the media seem to be hinting is her boyfriend and that he's the one she shared the footage with though. I hope he's been investigated.

Details on 8 female pedophiles.

Number of female paedophiles nearly DOUBLES in four years: Warning over 2,297 cases of abused children as 'lack of understanding' means women are less likely to be reported for crimes

Anne Sexton molested her daughter.

Ghislaine Maxwell is another pedophile.

Female sex offenders are more common than you think, reveals study

Researchers say the data gives an insight into the one-dimensional stereotype of women

It's still the case that majority are men or women doing it for a man. Ghislaine Maxwell is an example of someone who was doing it for a man.

Voyeurism is very much a male thing, though. Women typically do not go round installing hidden cameras in bathrooms.

It's well established that female crimes involving sex abuse usually involve being in cahoots with a male. It's usually for a boyfriend. That doesn't mean there's never females that act on their own, just that less than 10% of these crimes are committed by females, with an even smaller portion acting on their own -- and many of those lone cases involve adult female, teen boys (teacher and student scenerios). ​

Idk why that's even up for debate when we've known forever that a majority of sex related crimes (rape, voyeurism, etc) and sex related industries (prostitution, porn, etc), are perpetrated by males. The market for sex in general wouldn't thrive if it relied on female demand alone. This story wouldn't even raise eyebrows if it weren't unusual. There's cases daily with guys looking at child images, molestation, etc., But this case sticks out in the news because it's not typical.

Not sure why some people want to believe otherwise, or try to argue it's comparable, unless it bothers them that they are male too -- but it shouldn't if you're not a male committing these crimes. Doesn't bother me, I'm not doing these doing things. It's no different than mass shooters being mostly male, that doesn't mean every male could be a mass shooter. It's important to research and society to acknowledge differences in crimes when it comes to certain demographics. That's the only way to tackle it.

Why are child molesters always heterosexuals?!

They aren't. Tons of men molest boys.

[quote]I don't see how filming people in their underwear is a turn-on.

Really?

It's basically like creating porn only with an extra transgressive layer of the forbidden.

This case in the UK was horrifying. The women involved were acting at the behest of a male pedo. The worst of the female offenders was released from prison in 2019.

She's out now:

Hadley Palmer, 54, has entered a transitional supervision program and was granted early release from prison. She will now serve the rest of her sentence in a halfway house or with a sponsor.

R1 she is only 53! Of course she gets horny

Off with her head!

Hadley Palmer sure doesn't appear to be a Wasp. She also doesn't look like a wealthy person. Is she nouveau riche?

She was born into money and married money as well. (She's the daughter of prominent hedge-fund founder Jerrold Fine. Her ex-husband is venture capitalist Brad Palmer.)

"Women are so pure and virtous! All female pedos are trans women! And if they aren't, they're just working for a man! Down with the patriarchy!"

She looks like a lezzie
