Ashlee Cheatham, 19, of Oklahoma was arrested on Aug. 22 after her boyfriend reported her to Stillwater police for allegedly filming herself sexually abusing his 3-year-old daughter.
According to a news release from the department, she is now facing criminal charges.
The man reported to police that he had discovered “disturbing images and videos” of his daughter on Cheatham’s cellphone while she was asleep.
He appeared profoundly uneasy when describing the situation.
Body camera footage shows officers arresting Cheatham at her residence, which she shared with her boyfriend, later in the day.
According to KOKH-TV, Cheatham is facing charges for the possession of child pornography, sexual abuse of a child, sexual exploitation of a minor, unauthorized access to a computer system and illegal possession of a controlled substance.

KOCO-TV reported that Cheatham has admitted to the crimes, yet entered a plea of not guilty on August 30th. She is currently being held in the Payne County Jail with a bond of $75,000 and is represented by a court-appointed lawyer.
KOKH’s report stated that Cheatham had listed a local elementary school as her place of employment on Facebook.
“Ashlee Cheatham was in the process of being hired by the district for the current school year (2023-24),” Superintendent David Reid said of the connection.
“All employees are required to do a federal background check as a part of the hiring process. Before that process was completed, a mutual decision to terminate the hiring process was made.
“Ms. Cheatham never worked for the district, never received a paycheck, and has never been with any of our students.”
The next court hearing in Cheatham’s case is scheduled for next Monday.

I have no good feelings for someone that would sexually harm a child. She should be locked up for years and years. I don’t know what makes a person become a pervert! But there sure seems to be many of them around now days. Is it that they watch too much porn? Or is it, they are not punished enough after the perverted events? Back in the day, the family took care of them, and it was not pretty. But it stopped them from wanting to do it again.
just like video games make mass murderers. when the mind is screwed, blame everything else!!!
She’s got to be a Democrat. They are sick and twisted people.
make believe she’s a trans man, and put her in a male prison…she’ll get all the sexual attention she desires!!!
Child sex abuse should be a death sentence and carried out swiftly.
Yes Marilynn Reeves all pedophiles and child sex rings involved should be put to death.
Ashlee Cheatham would have been a typical school teacher.
