A Port St. Lucie mother will die in prison after a jury found she repeatedly abused her two young children and sold videos of the assaults online. Natalie Jesslynn Wagner was convicted on more than 80 counts, and the judge stacked 21 life sentences plus 800 additional years to make sure she never walks free. Prosecutors said the victims were just 1 and 3 years old at the time of the crimes.
The children have since been placed in new care, and the older child has begun counseling. The case has become a stark example of how quickly child exploitation can be turned into cash on social platforms.
The case, described by Assistant State Attorney Katy Reid as “one of the worst sexual abuse cases I’ve ever seen,” reached its conclusion last week, with the judge imposing sentences that, for all intents and purposes, ensure Wagner will spend the rest of her natural life behind bars.
Arrested, Wagner originally claimed not to be the woman in the videos found on her Snapchat account when confronted by Port St. Lucie police investigators.
According to AOL.com, prior to her trial, Wagner’s case was limited to charges related to her older son, meaning she still faces additional felony counts.
Wagner’s crimes did not only involve her children; included in the charges was sexual activity with the family dog.
AOL.com reported that jurors were subjected to viewing 18 sexually graphic videos and reading distressing digital messages exchanged between Wagner and purchasers of her videos during her trial.
Sold for an amount ranging between $20 and $50, the videos were not only shared on Snapchat but also uploaded to Dropbox for broader dissemination.
