A Florida woman has been sentenced to 21 life sentences in prison for committing sex crimes against her two young sons and the family dog, and for making and selling videos of them on Snapchat, court documents show.

On June 19, a jury found Natalie Jesslynn Wagner, 28, of Port St. Lucie, guilty of 84 counts of sexual abuse, including incest and distribution of child pornography, NBC 6 reported.

“A mother does this to her 1-year-old son and her 3-year-old son. There is nothing more egregious or wrong,” said Assistant State Attorney Katy Reid, WSOC-TV reported.

Wagner was sentenced on June 25, according to the Treasure Coast newspaper.

Wagner was arrested in August 2022 and charged with aggravated sexual battery on a child, lewd and lascivious molestation, possession and promotion of child pornography, incest and sexual intercourse with animals, according to online court records.

She recorded videos of herself performing sexual acts on her 1- and 3-year-old children, Reid said in 2022, WPTV reports.

According to WPTV, she sold videos on Snapchat for between $5 and $50.

According to WPTV, users told her what content they wanted to watch, Reid said.

According to WPTV, the crimes came to light when people told Snapchat about a parent who was “advertising” videos of the parent having sex with their own children. According to WPTV, the parent was Wagner.

Snapchat sent that information to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which tracked the IP address to Port St. Lucie and Wagner. WPT reports.

“She was their mother. I mean, she was the one person who should have made sure that this never happened to them,” Reid said, WPTV reported.

Reid said family members are caring for the children and the 3-year-old is undergoing therapy.

Wagner’s public defender did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
