"These are probably the most heart-wrenching cases that we handle,"  Lemisch said. "These are innocent children who are being sexually exploited, having their innocence taken, having their physical persons being abused, all for the gratification of someone else."

The illegal photos and videos were discovered by FBI investigators serving search warrants at homes were the couple stayed in Lake Orion and White Lake Township in November of 2015.
