Woman Sentenced Sexual Abuse: She receives 21 life sentences

A woman from South Florida has been convicted on 84 counts of sexual abuse related to her two young children and the family dog.

Natalie Jesslynn Wagner, 28, received 21 life sentences on June 19 in Port St. Lucie.

In addition to the life sentences, Wagner must serve an additional 800 years in prison, according to local newspapers.

Judge Lawrence Mirman handed down the sentence after a two-day trial.

Prosecution Calls Wagner’s Crimes «The Worst Cases of Sexual Abuse»

Assistant State Attorney Katy Reid described Wagner’s crimes as «one of the worst cases of sexual abuse I’ve seen.»

«A mother doing this to her one-year-old and three-year-old child. There is nothing more atrocious or evil,» Reid said.

Assistant Public Defender Mary Celedonio, Wagner’s attorney, declined to comment.

Wagner was arrested on August 11, 2022, for possession of child pornography.

The arrest followed a report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Within weeks, Wagner faced 139 charges after reviewing 18 sexually explicit videos on her Snapchat account.

Prosecutors stated that the videos involved her child and the family dog.

The charges included three counts of capital sexual abuse of a child and 18 counts of possession of child pornography.

Natalie Jesslynn Wagner uploaded the videos to Snapchat and sold them for between $20 and $50 each.

Wagner’s children were removed from her home by the Department of Children and Families.

Wagner’s ex-husband, William Wagner, lived in the home and testified as a witness for the prosecution.

William Wagner received five years of probation for a charge of child neglect in 2023.
