Victoria Cranmer, a 25-year-old babysitter in New Jersey, was arrested after police alleged she recorded and shared a video showing the sexual abuse of a young boy on Snapchat, even as the investigators traced the footage to a bathroom in a Little Egg Harbour home on 6 May.
The case surfaced after Cranmer's former roommate, identified in court records as 'Ms. P', reportedly discovered the video on a mobile phone, returned after being asked to leave the residence. According to an affidavit of probable cause cited by Patch, the roommate found a 14-second clip showing Cranmer laughing while behaving inappropriately with the child in a bathroom. The footage, authorities say, became the central piece of evidence that triggered the police investigation and her arrest last week.
