A former employee at a Wisconsin elementary school, previously charged with sexually assaulting a minor, is now facing additional allegations of attempting to coerce two more young boys into sexual activities.
Anna Marie Crocker, 33, is accused of sending a 13-year-old boy from Kenosha County several inappropriate messages, including videos of herself engaging in an unspecified sexual act, as reported by Fox 6 Milwaukee.
The young man informed authorities that he accessed the message under the impression that it contained a “fitness video.”
The victim was understandably terrified, having heard reports of her attacking another young person, according to the station.
He chose not to reply to her message, claiming he was “too young for that,” and instead reported the educational assistant’s inappropriate questions to a school staff member.
Subsequently, authorities discovered videos on Crocker’s phone that corresponded with the details provided by the boy, according to prosecutors.
The report indicated that the two reportedly communicated over 200 times following her addition of him on Snapchat in September, with some exchanges featuring photos and videos.
Authorities discovered yet another troubling exchange in Crocker’s Snapchat records, this one concerning a 16-year-old boy she had added on October 9, just a day prior to her arrest, according to the report.
These messages reportedly indicated her attempts to entice the teenager into a sexual encounter, even specifying a date of October 11.
However, that did not occur, as she was already incarcerated at that time, Fox stated.
Shortly after, on October 14, the Silver Lake-Salem school district terminated her employment due to the serious offenses committed.
Crocker began her journey in the district as a substitute in 2020, transitioning to a full-time role the next year. She is currently involved in a serious legal matter concerning allegations of molestation involving a 13-year-old boy during a sleepover last winter.
The individual reported to authorities that he was resting in the basement when Crocker awakened him, removed his pants, and attacked him.
The sexual encounter — observed by other children — lacked consent, and the 12-year-old made multiple attempts to remove herself from the situation.
However, the station reported that she refused to listen.
Authorities subsequently discovered an explicit video on the teenager’s phone, which she admitted to sharing with another student at the victim’s school.
Crocker faced serious charges including first-degree child sexual assault, possession of child pornography, and sexual exploitation of a child in the initial case.
New allegations against her involve indecent exposure, subjecting a child to harmful content, enticing a child, and presenting a child with harmful descriptions, according to Fox.
According to the station, she is currently in custody at Kenosha County Jail with a bond set at $500,000.
The upcoming hearing is scheduled for November 22.
