by WKRC Mon, July 13, 2026 at 5:05 PM Victoria Cranmer (Ocean County Jail) LITTLE EGG HARBOR, N.J. (WKRC) — A New Jersey woman is in jail after she was accused of sexually assaulting a child under 13, recording the assaults and posting them to Snapchat. Victoria Cranmer, 25, was arrested and charged on July 8 after a witness discovered the videos on her phone, according to court documents. The witness, identified as Ms. P, said she kicked Cranmer out of her home in May after a falling out and then asked Cranmer to return the iPhone she had given her as a birthday gift, a probable cause affidavit obtained by NJ.com alleges. Ms. P then reportedly looked through Cranmer's phone and found a 14-second video in Snapchat's Memories storage that showed a person, believed to be Cranmer, acting inappropriately with a child. The witness identified the person as Cranmer based on her voice and distinct tattoos, especially those of breasts, a lightning bolt and a mushroom on one of her legs. She also said she recognized the bathroom where the video was filmed. The witness saved the video and turned the phone over to law enforcement. On May 28

Getty Images By Shivani Ramanathan  “Snapchat is not harmless messaging anymore, strangers know exactly where teens are, how to contact them, and that is not even what scares me the most,” worried Malini Alagappan.  Alagappan is a concerned local parent who has been learning about the dangers of Snapchat for a few years.  Snapchat is known for disappearing messages, sending pictures to friends, and recording videos with filters. But behind the doors and all the exciting Ariana Grande filters, “dozens, potentially over a hundred, young people have died”. Today, Snapchat is being used as an easy gateway for drug dealers to introduce and sell counterfeit pills to innocent teenagers.  Across the United States, parents are suing the social media company, Snapchat Inc, arguing how the social media platform allows illegal drug sales to spread due to the disappearing chat histories. After 24 hours, all the chat histories are permanently deleted, allowing drug dealers to communicate location, persuasion, and other dangers to teenagers. The disappearing message also makes it more difficult for parents and law enforcement to track conversations between the teens and the drug dealers.  Drug dealers are using Snapchat to friend request teenagers and advertise counterfeit pills that look

CREATING social impact has been the key driver of Wong Xiao Cheng (pic)’s life ever since she was introduced to the concept of social business – enterprises that serve the common good while remaining financially sustainable. That aha moment at a youth summit when she was an undergraduate was, in her words, “the missing piece” she was looking for as she reflected on what she wanted to do with her life. Looking back, the 34-year-old credited a scholarship award from the Star Education Fund (SEF) for giving her the freedom to explore, question and ultimately commit to a calling rooted in social good. “Without the SEF scholarship, this path would not have been possible,” she said. Raised in a modest household, Wong was shaped by resilience and determination from an early age. Her father worked as a carpenter and construction worker, while her mother supplemented the family income with part-time tailoring from home. Growing up, she carried her mother’s constant reminder: education would open doors. Despite scoring nine As in her Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examinations, she found herself faced with financial constraints in pursuing tertiary studies. The SEF scholarship changed that, enabling her to pursue Australian Matriculation at Methodist College

Erling Haaland has been one of the standout players of the World Cup and everyone has been loving his Snapchat antics - but there's one change football fans have noticed. The 25-year-old has helped to secure his home country into the tournament quarterfinals for the first time after defeating Brazil on Sunday, with two goals. He is now tied with footy legends Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé for goals scored during the tournament, as all three have netted seven so far. But football fans have spotted that Haaland's jersey looks different - as it says "Braut Haaland" rather than just "Haaland" which is what is on his Manchester City jersey. There is a wholesome reason for this difference as "Braut" pays tribute to his family roots. Braut is is the footballer's middle name - but also his mother's maiden name - with her full name being Gry Marita Braut, who was national heptathlon champion in Norway in the 1990s. While, his father Alf-Inge Haaland, was a former Premier League player who played for Nottingham Forest, Leeds United, and Manchester City, and won 34 caps representing Norway. In Norway, it's common for children to use the names of both of their

The parents of Nolan Xavier Wells are publicly questioning the circumstances surrounding their son's death — and they are starting with his phone. Christine Wonsley told Good Morning America anchor Michael Strahan on Friday (July 10) that Nolan's phone was picked up by a family friend after it was tracked via Life360. "It wasn't like they said, 'we got his phone,'" the family's attorney, Ben Crump, noted. Nolan's mother also said the phone's location history differed from what friends had been seeing through Snapchat, and that both of his Snapchat accounts were empty. "When we finally got his phone, me and my sister went through the phone. We went in his Snapchat. He had two accounts. Absolutely nothing," she said. "It wasn't even 24 hours, which is how long videos and pictures stay in Snapchat, and I was just like that can’t be.”  Christine went on to explain that Nolan used the app consistently, “when he goes and he’s having fun, like he does videos.” She said this time, though, “there was absolutely nothing… even my sister was like… ‘that’s suspicious.’” Crump also told GMA that a video exists of Nolan telling someone, "Give me my freaking phone. What are

Key Takeaways: Lush returns to social media, choosing Bluesky over mainstream platforms.  Owned digital channels helped offset the impact of leaving traditional social media platforms.  Beauty brands increasingly prioritize community, transparency, and first-party customer relationships. For a company that made headlines by walking away from social media in 2021, pivoting back to social networks requires more than just opening a new account. Years after abandoning Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, and later X over concerns about the impact of social media on mental health and user well-being, Lush quietly returned to the digital conversation, this time on Bluesky, a popular alternative to X. The move is less a reversal than an evolution. Rather than signaling a renewed embrace of traditional social media, Lush said its arrival on the decentralized platform reflects its search for online spaces that better align with its longstanding values around transparency, community, and digital well-being. The decision also comes at a moment when brands are reassessing where and how they engage consumers online. As algorithms change, declining organic reach, concerns about misinformation, and increasing dissatisfaction with major platforms reshape digital marketing. Emerging networks such as Bluesky are attracting brands looking for alternatives. The question is whether they

Rohnert Park police arrested a 21-year-old man after a woman caught him at her home allegedly selling a cannabis vape pen to her 12-year-old following a deal arranged on Snapchat. A Sonoma man is facing a felony charge after police say he used Snapchat to arrange the sale of a cannabis vape pen to a 12-year-old and went to the child's home to deliver it, as Bay Area News Group Reports. After the child's mother stopped the sale, she photographed the suspect and his vehicle before he drove away. According to KPIX, investigators used law enforcement databases and the Flock automated license plate reader system to identify the suspect as 21-year-old Orlando Robledo, who was later located by a Sonoma County Sheriff's deputy. A Rohnert Park officer reportedly arrested Robledo that evening, and he was booked into the Sonoma County Jail on suspicion of felony sale of marijuana to a child under 14.
