LITTLE EGG HARBOR, NJ — A Little Egg Harbor woman is accused of sexually assaulting a child and filming the act, according to officials.
Victoria Anne Cranmer, 25, is charged with sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child, manufacturing child sexual abuse material and possession of child sexual abuse material, according to the Ocean County Department of Corrections.
Cranmer had been living with a woman identified as Ms. P, who had gifted Cranmer an iPhone and paid for the cell service, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed in Cranmer's arrest.
After a few months, Cranmer was kicked out of where she was staying, and Ms. P asked to her to return the cell phone. Ms. P then discovered a disturbing video on the phone, the documents said.
On Cranmer's Snapchat, she found a video of the young boy touching Cranmer's exposed vagina while she sat on the toilet laughing, according to the affidavit. Ms. P knew it was Cranmer due to distinctive tattoos, her voice and the fact that it was filmed in her own bathroom, the affidavit said.
Ms. P "freaked out," according to the affidavit, and saved the video to her phone before locking Cranmer out of the Snapchat account so it couldn't be deleted.
While Cranmer was living with Ms. P, she would often babysit her daughter and the young son of a woman identified as Ms. H, the documents said. The son's age was not stated, however, documents refer to him being in diapers.
Ms. H began to notice her son behaving oddly after spending time with Cranmer, and he began to not like the bathtub, according to the documents. She learned that Cranmer bathed herself with the boy, officials said.
A search warrant uncovered additional videos of Cranmer and the boy in the bathroom, officials said.
Cranmer was charged and taken to Ocean County Jail, where she remains as of Monday.
