KENOSHA, Wis. — Anna Marie Crocker will be in her mid-80s when she is released from the Wisconsin state prison system and begins decades of extended supervision after Judge David Hughes sentenced her Tuesday to 51.5 years in prison. Kenosha County Eye was in the courtroom as Hughes delivered one of his first major sentencing rulings since taking the bench.

Crocker, 34, of Salem, previously pleaded guilty to seven felony child sex crimes involving multiple boys, including first-degree child sexual assault, sexual exploitation of a child, child enticement, second-degree sexual assault of a child, use of a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, exposing intimate parts to a child, and felony intimidation of a victim. Additional charges were dismissed and read in for sentencing.
Deputy District Attorney Rosa Delgado delivered a blistering argument before the sentence was imposed, calling Crocker “an opportunistic predator” whose conduct was “illegal, forbidden, and immoral.” Delgado told the court that Crocker “shattered the boundary between childhood and adulthood” and “robbed these boys of their innocence and youth.”
“As a society, we do not tolerate adults who sexually abuse children,” Delgado argued. “Parents send their children to school to learn — not to be groomed or exploited by someone in a position of trust.”
Judge Hughes echoed the harsh characterization in a lengthy ruling from the bench. He described the crimes as predatory and calculated, saying they reflected a disturbing pattern of manipulation.
“The defendant victimized these children while she was an adult, while she was a school employee,” Hughes said.
He detailed how one victim was ambushed while sleeping and how another was lured out of his home in the middle of the night. The court emphasized that the conduct did not end with the assaults themselves.
“The defendant would blame or otherwise assign responsibility for her assaults, her actions, or her crimes onto boys who were 12, 13, 14… too young and unable to be responsible for the actions,” Hughes said.
A significant portion of the ruling focused on statements Crocker made during the presentence investigation prepared by the Department of Corrections. Although she told the court she was accepting responsibility, the judge said the PSI reflected something different.
“Specifically, in multiple occasions throughout the PSI, the defendant cast herself as the victim and the victims as perpetrators,” Hughes said. “In the court’s estimation, in the court’s view, that is not taking responsibility.”

When given the opportunity to address the court, Crocker briefly apologized and said, “What happened wasn’t me,” while also telling the judge she was “truly horrified by the horrible decisions” she had made. Much of her statement focused on the impact the sentence would have on her own children and family.

Judge Hughes said her allocution centered more on the consequences to herself than on the harm inflicted on the victims, and that lack of full accountability weighed heavily in his sentencing decision.
Victim impact statements described ongoing anxiety, emotional trauma, academic struggles, and lasting psychological harm. Families asked the court to impose a substantial prison sentence that reflected the seriousness of the crimes.
The seven felony convictions carried a combined maximum exposure of more than 200 years in prison under Wisconsin law. Judge Hughes ultimately imposed 51.5 years in prison, followed by extended supervision that will keep Crocker under Department of Corrections oversight for decades after her release.

With the sentence imposed, Crocker will spend the remainder of her natural life either incarcerated or under strict state supervision. Court observers noted that the length of the sentence — one of Judge Hughes’ first major rulings — signals that his courtroom may take a particularly firm approach in serious sexual assault cases involving children.

Despicable woman. Glad she is being punished to the fullest. She cared more about her outcome than remorse for her victims.
Kenosha exposed don’t like to post on when predators are sentenced, or when kusd has a problem with dumbass kids.
Kenosha Exposed only cares when the story fits their agenda. Which is all it is, an agenda…
Kenosha exposed doesn’t like to post anything unless it involves her two obsessions: Kevin and Xavier.
Because Jackie is a pedo
100%
Kevin, wonderful coverage for the entire duration. If you dont do another good thing in your life, this will be your accomplishment that you can brag about! Anyone, even women, can do terrible things to children. Thank you!
We don’t have the right to judge. As a follower of Christ everyone should know this. She will face the real judge and jury one day and find peace.
You sound crazy ! Until it’s your kid or family members !
We DO have the right to judge, and if you think this woman shouldn’t have been judged, then you should voluntarily submit yourself to the nut nut.
So, they should let her out?
It’s refreshing to see that she wasn’t given any leniency based on her gender. I’m sure that I’m not the only one thinking that if she were a man that did this, they would have never seen the light of day again, happy she will not either.
She will get lots of love in prison, just not the kind she wants.
Maybe we have a real judge?
Don’t remember anyone around here getting 50 years for anything including homicide.Lets keep it going.
The eyes say it all. Btw, both parents are in jail! She destroyed her 4 children plus the other kids. Un live?
Why is her husband in jail? 4 kids? What has she done to them! Horrible thought!
I believe it’s DUIs.
Right? Who is her husband, and what did he do?
Her ex husband is not in jail and was not involved in this at all.
Yes he is.
Very sad…drugs and alcohol.
That’s Jackie Niccolai
Both slutty bimbos
Oh absolutely
Excellent job by Judge Hughes. Keep up the great work!
Kevin, how did she react to the sentence?
Was happy giving high fives and saying, “at the end of the day, I got off and you didn’t “
Although the crimes aren’t the same, the entire description of her behavior would fit a lot of teachers sending their kids out with pre-printed signs against ice.
What does it say about our legal system when we’re all shocked when someone gets sentenced to what they deserve?
Iowa S. Ct. Justice and other officials / groomers In Quad Cities had their eyes on my kids. A Rock Island Coach got 5 years before the DA lost his job for affair with victim.
New book, Domestic Terrorism: USA vs Veterans and the First Amendment, Dr. KC Tennant, DC
Take her out of the suicide suit and let her off herself already… save us tax payers a little money!!! What a horrible excuse of a human being!
No one said who’s got the kids. I hope they’re with a loving relative. If I was the relative I’d move them out if town where nobody knows their name.
GOD BLESS THE CHILDREN ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now let’s go after the billionaires!
Right, get Bill Clinton!
Or how about you get a better job and quit overspending, you might have a savings as well.
Won’t happen. To many sheeple
What ever happened with the case where the Kenosha Police Captain had his firearm accessed by his 9 year old child & the child shot his hand with dad’s weapon (At home)
Any update on the sheriff’s “ongoing investigation”?
Ray
I’d bang her
I just got out of high school, and I would have loved to have a teacher like her. Getting her drunk and inviting my friends over to her house. What a high school career that would have been.
