A New Jersey babysitter accused of sexually assaulting a two‑year‑old girl has set out her defence for the first time in court, with her lawyer telling a judge that a 14‑second Snapchat video at the centre of the case has 'been blown out of proportion' and does not show criminal conduct.
The argument was immediately challenged by the judge overseeing the case. Ocean County Judge Kenneth Palmer questioned the defence's explanation, calling the alleged incident 'bizarre' and 'troubling' before ordering 25‑year‑old Victoria Cranmer to remain in custody without bail.
