CLEVELAND, OH — A former nanny from Ohio is accused of filming herself sexually abusing toddlers on Snapchat.

Molly Duncan, 25, was arrested and charged Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice for allegedly producing and distributing explicit images of young children under her care, WKYC reported.

Federal prosecutors say Duncan is accused of exploiting at least two toddlers in separate households in Ohio during her time as a nanny, a role she began in 2024.

Authorities allege that the abuse took place in the victims’ homes and that Duncan used the social media platform Snapchat to share illicit materials with others.

A search of her residence reportedly uncovered multiple electronic devices loaded with child pornography.

According to the criminal complaint, Duncan confessed to creating the images herself.

According to Cleveland.com, one video showed Duncan sexually abusing a toddler, while another showed her engaging in a sex act with a second child, court records indicated.

Duncan remains in federal custody and is expected to appear for a preliminary hearing on Wednesday. Her legal counsel has not issued any public statements. If found guilty, Duncan faces the possibility of several decades behind bars.

Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
