Overview
- Prosecutors approved formal charges on July 7 and police arrested 25-year-old Victoria Anne Cranmer on July 8 on counts that include sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child, manufacturing child sexual abuse material, and possession of child sexual abuse material.
- A former roommate identified a 14-second Snapchat clip saved in the suspect’s account and turned the phone over to police after finding the footage, which investigators say shows Cranmer in a bathroom with a very young child.
- Investigators executed a search warrant on May 28 for the phone and Snapchat account and recovered additional videos that a charging affidavit alleges include footage of Cranmer exposing herself while the child touched her.
- Court documents, heavily redacted to protect the victim, indicate the child was a toddler described as wearing diapers and the child’s mother reported behavioral changes after Cranmer babysat and bathed with the child.
- At a mid-July detention hearing the defense argued the 14-second clip showed an innocent moment but the judge called the conduct troubling and ordered Cranmer held without bond as the case moves forward and digital evidence is reviewed.
