COLUMBIA, S.C. – A South Carolina woman faces 28 years in prison after pleading guilty to two first-degree counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, according to the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office.
Taylor Schiel recorded a video on a cell phone of her sexually assaulting a baby boy in Blythewood, South Carolina.
Law enforcement explored through Schiel’s social media accounts and found multiple videos showing her sexual assault an infant boy. Authorities say many of the videos were spliced together with Schiel engaging in sexual activity with an adult man.
