Tatiana Power gained her U.S. citizenship through the naturalization process but was later convicted of crimes related to a child modeling business.
Power was one of six people who were charged with crimes related to the case, but two of those have died.
Power had been the bookkeeper for Newstar Websites, which recruited children under the guise of modeling, but instead the children were made to engage in sexual conduct for images and videos.
The organization had targeted Moldovan, Ukrainian, and other Eastern European children and then sold the child sex images and videos to customers in more than a hundred countries.
Prosecutors said they produced about 4.6 million videos and images, including children as young as 6 years old.
Some of the children were made to wear transparent underwear, pantyhose and miniskirts, or dress up in cheerleader or police costumes.
Power pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy and was sentenced in 2022 to more than 12 years in prison.
On Tuesday, the DOJ said it had also stripped Power of her citizenship.
Power was one of six people who were charged with crimes related to the case, but two of those have died, two others were imprisoned, and one has eluded U.S. custody.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
