The child appeared to be asleep at the time of the sex assault, but police say Diaz provided her with sleeping medication in order to facilitate the sexual assault.

They were observed through a window by a passerby who reported the assault to the police. The citizen provided police with evidence of Diaz and Leon committing various sexual acts upon the toddler while engaging in sexual acts with each other.

The text messages, images and video the pair shared were recovered by police.

Diaz faces 10 years in a New Jersey state prison, subject to an 85 percent period of parole ineligibility.
