Wisconsin Pedophile Teacher, Anna-Marie Crocker, 33, is accused by authorities of sexually assaulting multiple children and exchanging inappropriate messages with them through Snapchat
A former elementary school staffer, Anna-Marie Crocker, already accused by Wisconsin authorities of sexually assaulting a child is facing additional criminal charges after investigators identified more alleged victims.
Anna-Marie Crocker, 33, was charged in an amended criminal complaint filed on Nov. 1 in Kenosha County Circuit Court with exposing genitals, exposing a child to harmful material, child enticement and exposing a child to harmful descriptions, per the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office.
The charges come less than a month after Anna-Marie Crocker, who worked at Riverview Elementary School in Silver Lake, Wis., was charged with first-degree child sexual assault – sexual intercourse with a child under age 13, possession of child pornography, and sexual exploitation of a child – filming, according to the initial criminal complaint filed on Oct. 14 in Kenosha County Circuit Court and shared by prosecutors.
It’s unclear if Anna-Marie Crocker has entered pleas and PEOPLE couldn’t immediately identify an attorney who could speak on her behalf. Jail records show she is being held on a $500,000 bond.
The alleged victims related to Anna-Marie Crocker’s initial case were current and former students of the elementary school, the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement last month. Authorities added that the alleged misconduct did not occur during school hours or on school property.
According to the criminal complaint, a sheriff’s deputy was called to a home in Twin Lakes, Wis., on Oct. 8, where the caller claimed his 13-year-old son was “forced to have sex with the mother of his friend.”
The 13-year-old alleged the sexual assault happened in the winter time when he was at Anna-Marie Crocker’s house for a sleepover with some friends, per the complaint. The boy claimed he was asleep on the couch in the basement when Crocker, who was naked, woke him up and removed his pants before sexually assaulting him, the complaint states.
The boy, who was 12 years old at the time, said the sexual encounter was non-consensual, according to the complaint. He also allegedly told investigators that he repeatedly told Anna-Marie Crocker to get off and tried to push her off, but she wouldn’t listen, the complaint states.
The boy said Anna-Marie Crocker texted him months after the alleged incident trying to apologize for what happened in the basement and described her as “trying to make him feel guilty,” per the complaint.
Authorities further alleged in the complaint that Anna-Marie Crocker had been “exchanging sexual chats and pictures” through Snapchat with a different child. The alleged victim reported it to a school resource officer on Oct. 9.
The child also claimed that Anna-Marie Crocker sexually assaulted him in a parking lot in August, according to the complaint. Anna-Marie Crocker allegedly admitted to receiving a sexual video from the boy and saving it, authorities said in the complaint.
The new allegations in the amended complaint accuse Anna-Marie Crocker of having sexually inappropriate conversations with two other boys through Snapchat. On Oct. 10, Twin Lakes police spoke with a boy who told a school staff member that Anna-Marie Crocker sent him “weird” messages, including videos of herself masturbating with a sex toy and sexual pictures.
The alleged victim said the pair talked for about two weeks and that he eventually blocked Anna-Marie Crocker after she said she “liked” that he was 13-years-old, per the complaint. The complaint states the boy said he became “scared” because of what allegedly happened to his friend, who claimed Anna-Marie Crocker raped him.
Authorities searched Anna-Marie Crocker’s cell phone and found several videos and photos that looked like the ones the boy described, the complaint states. During that search, investigators claimed they also found a conversation between Anna-Marie Crocker and another boy she added on Snapchat on Oct. 9 after “seeing him on the homecoming float for his high school,” per the complaint.
Anna-Marie Crocker allegedly asked the boy if he wanted to have sex with her and the two planned to meet at her house on Oct. 11, according to the complaint. The boy claimed he and Anna-Marie Crocker exchanged messages in which “sex was inferred” but that he “never went through with it,” the complaint states.
The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department previously said Anna-Marie Crocker was a staff member at Riverview Elementary School. According to local station WITI, the school district’s website stated that Crocker began working as a substitute in 2020 and became a full-time teacher’s aide the next year.
WITI and WISN report that Anna-Marie Crocker was fired by the school board following a special meeting on Oct. 14. As of Nov. 7, a staff page for Anna-Marie Crocker cannot be found on the school district’s website.
