TOMS RIVER, N.J. — A 25-year-old Little Egg Harbor woman pleaded guilty Friday to a child endangerment charge for possessing child sexual abuse material involving a 2-year-old who was in her care, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said.
Victoria Cranmer entered the plea on Nov. 13 before Superior Court Judge Kenneth T. Palmer to endangering the welfare of a child by possessing child sexual abuse material, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer.
Prosecutors will ask for a three-year New Jersey State Prison term when Cranmer is sentenced Jan. 22, 2027, the office said. She would also be subject to parole supervision for life and to Nicole’s Law, which permanently bars her from contact with the victim.
The case began with a referral from the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency. The prosecutor’s office said an investigation by its Special Victims Unit and the Little Egg Harbor Township Police Department Detective Bureau found that Cranmer filmed inappropriate contact involving the toddler while the child was in her care.
Cranmer was charged July 7, and a warrant was issued for her arrest. She surrendered at Little Egg Harbor Township police headquarters the next day and has been held in the Ocean County Jail since, according to the prosecutor’s office.
Assistant Prosecutor Lynn Juan is handling the case for the state. Billhimer credited the Special Victims Unit, the township police detective bureau and the Division of Child Protection and Permanency for their work on the investigation.
