An elementary school staff member in Kenosha County has been charged with three felonies, including sexual assault of a child.
Anna Marie Crocker, an employee at Riverview Elementary School in Silver Lake, was arrested earlier this week on sexual assault allegations.
She's facing three charges including:
- 1st degree child sexual asssault — sexual intercourse with a child under age 13,
- Possession of child pornography, and,
- Sexual exploitation of a child — filming.

According to the criminal complaint, Kenosha County Sheriff's Department were called to a home in Twin Lakes. A parent claimed that his 13-year-old son had been forced to have sex with his friend's mother. He was 12 at the time of the incident.
The boy told police he had been invited to Anna Crocker's house "countless times" and that she often acted "crazy" due to drinking heavily. He told police, at one such sleepover during the winter, he was woken up by a naked Crocker. The boy claimed Crocker had removed his pants and was on top of him, and that his friends saw.

The boy told law enforcement that he told Crocker to get off of him several times but she refused. He also tried to push her off. Later, the boy told police that Crocker texted him trying to get him to apologize for what happened.
Another boy, aged 15, told authorities Crocker had also been inappropriate with him. He said that he and Crocker exchanged sexual chats and pictures via Snapchat. The teen told law enforcement Crocker sexually assaulted him in a Racine County parking lot in August of this year.
The teen admitted to sending a sexual video of himself to Crocker. Crocker admitted to police to saving the video and also sending it to another person.
"She has spent a lifetime working in daycares and schools. Despite these allegations she adamantly denies the allegations and inferences on her character," defense attorney Dan Slapczynski said during Crocker's initial appearance Friday.
"Kenosha (County) Sheriff's Department is being flooded with tips. We know of a potential third victim that's also being investigated," prosecutor Alexandra Smathers stated. "Again, this is just the tip of the iceberg."
Crocker's cash bond was set at $500,000. Records show her special education aide program license is under investigation.
