Mom gets 21 life sentences for 'evil and horrific' crimes

Описание: A Florida mother has been sentenced to 21 life terms in prison plus 800 years after being convicted of "evil and horrific" sex crimes against her children.

It's one of the longest sentences prosecutor Katy Reid has worked for. After teams of invstigators found now 28-year-old Natalie Wagner sent explicit videos through Snapchat of her own kids.

"You do what you did to a 3-year-old boy, she definitely got the sentence she deserved," Reid said.

Prosecutors say Wagner would be asked to do horrendous things to her child, she would do it and share the video to get a response from people on social media. According to Reid, investigators received two tips from Snapchat that someone was openly advertising that she was having sex with her children.

Police say they found at least 20 videos that were filmed in Wagner's home. She was charged and convicted of 83 crimes ranging from incest to use of a child in a sexual performance and transmitting child pornography. #Crime #News

In most cases involving crimes against children, Reid said they'll often offer a plea deal to keep kids from having to experience a trial. This case was different.

"Absolutely no deal for this woman," Reid said. "She needed to be locked away and throw away the key, essentially."
