Babysitter Victoria Anne Cranmer, who allegedly recorded the sxual assault of a child on her phone, has blamed the child for having “little appreciation for personal space or privacy”. Cranmer, 25, allegedly made a video recording of herself with a toddler she was babysitting, in which the child can be seen touching her exposed genitals (read here). The babysitter was arrested when the video came to light. Now Cranmers lawyer, Marissa Koerner, insists the 14-second Snapchat video showed an innocent moment, and not a criminal act. Anyone who has spent time caring for young children understands that children often have little appreciation for personal space or privacy, Koerner said. Young children routinely follow parents or caregivers into bathrooms, touch things, ask questions, are curious and fail to recognise ordinary social boundaries. The Snapchat footage also allegedly showed Cranmer “laughing” during the incident. The incident had been blown out of proportion, Koerner said, adding: Children often engage in funny, spontaneous or strange behaviour that adults record because the moment is memorable or humorous. At a New Jersey bail hearing, Cranmer cried as Ocean County Judge Kenneth Palmer ruled she would have to remain behind bars while the bizarre and troubling incident was investigated further. The investigation began on May 20, 2026, after a mother referred to in official documents as Ms P reported finding a video on an iPhone that had previously belonged to Cranmer. In the brief clip showing what appears to be inappropriate contact between an adult woman and a child, Cranmer was identified by her distinctive tattoos, which include boobs, a lightning bolt and a mushroom, according to police. According to police, Cranmer lived in Ms Ps home and regularly babysat her child, as well as the son of another local woman referred to in court documents as Ms H. Much of the official documentation has been heavily redacted to protect the identities of the two children involved, but both potential victims are reportedly around two years old. After discovering the video, Ms P handed the device over to police, who obtained a search warrant and uncovered several other Snapchat videos of Cranmer with the child, court records say. In one of the videos, a woman that investigators allege to be Cranmer can be seen sitting on a toilet with her genitals exposed as a child touched her intimately. At least one of the videos had been posted to Snapchat. Ms H told police that she had noticed a change in her young sons behaviour after he had been looked after by Cranmer, and he had developed an aversion to baths. Following the allegations by Ms H, Cranmer was arrested and booked into Ocean County Jail in Toms River, NJ. She has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child, manufacturing child sxual abuse material, and possession of child sxual abuse material, authorities said.The post Babysitter, 25, blames toddler for ‘touching her gnitals as she sat on toilet’ after she was arrested for sxually as$aulting child appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
