Teaching Assistant Sentenced to 51 Years for Sexually Assaulting 12-Year-Old Boy During Sleepover with Kids

A DEPRAVED teaching assistant who sexually assaulted a 12-year-old boy during a sleepover with his friends has been jailed for over 51 years.

Anna Marie Crocker, 34, was also accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old and trying to manipulate two young teens into having sex with her.

The disgraced mum-of-four sent sexually explicit messages, videos and pictures to each of the four students, according to Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office court filings.

Crocker pleaded guilty to seven felonies, including first-degree child sexual assault and second-degree sexual assault of a child.

She was officially sentenced to 51-and-a-half-years in jail with prosecutors saying she won’t be eligible for release until she is 85 years old.

The 12-year-old victim first told police about the abuse in 2024 as he said he was sleeping in the basement when the twisted educator woke him.

She pulled off his underwear and assaulted him in front of the others who were said to have been sleeping.

Crocker would then text the youngster at a later date demanding he apologised “for what happened in the basement,” court docs show.

She issued a grovelling apology during her sentencing, saying: “I am disturbed by the harm and distress, along with the trauma that you have to endure.

“I am deeply sorry that this has caused confusion, pain and anger, and that you have to live with this the rest of your lives.”

A separate allegation saw him accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old boy.

The pair would speak over Snapchat before Crocker sexually assaulted him in a parking lot in August 2024, according to court records.

The serial abuser was also accused of exchanging sexual messages with a 13-year-old and 16-year-old boy.

Crocker asked the older teen to come round to her home for sex just a day before her arrest in October 2024, a court heard.

A search of Crocker’s phone by cops found several videos which mirrored those described by victims, according to prosecutors.

Crocker was an assistant at Riverview Elementary School in Silver Lake, Wisconsin before her arrest.

She joined the school in 2020 as a substitute before going full-time the following year.

District Attorney Xavier Solis said in a statement: “This case represents a profound breach of trust.

“When an adult connected to our schools exploits our children, the harm is severe and lasting.

“This sentence sends a clear message to any school employee who preys on our children, in Kenosha County, you will be held accountable.”

Crocker will also be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life.
