Late last month, a Michigan woman was arrested for allegedly filming herself sexually abusing a 3-year-old girl and sending the images to her boyfriend, who is also facing charges.
Arielle Truckner, 33, allegedly abused the girl from January through July. Truckner and her boyfriend, Ayden Burge, corresponded on social media about her molesting the victim — and Truckner admitted to sending the explicit images to him, according to MLive.com.
According to WMEN, Burge also sexually assaulted the toddler girl in an arrangement planned by Truckner.
Truckner is charged in Saginaw County with first-degree criminal-sexual conduct with a victim 13 or younger, second-degree criminal-sexual conduct with a victim 13 or younger, using a computer to commit a crime, aggravated possession of child sexually abusive material, and aggravated distribution of child sexually abusive material. Burge is charged in Alpena County with aggravated possession of child sexually abusive material, using a computer to commit a crime, and delivering or manufacturing methamphetamine.
Burge was criminally charged in May. MLive reported that Burge is not charged in Saginaw County, but the case remains under investigation.
