During interviews, Stevens admitted to making sexually explicit videos of herself performing oral sex on the infant victim and taking eight to 10 nude photographs with a second victim under 12. After the interviews, law enforcement accessed Stevens' online accounts and learned that, the day before creating the sexually explicit videos of the infant in May 2019, Stevens and a like-minded user had online discussions about how Stevens was excited to take custody of the infant the next day so that she could create videos of herself engaging in sexual activity with the victim.
