Ashlee Marie Cheatham, 19, of Midwest City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, United States is accused of doing diabolical things to a girl, 3. The woman and the girl’s father recently met online.
The father became Cheatham’s boyfriend and she moved in with him. They lived in Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma with his baby daughter.
Shortly after, the father had a strange feeling that Cheatham was up to something. One night, while she was sleeping, he went through her cellphone and found photos and videos of her sexually abusing his baby daughter.
At around 10:10 a.m. on August 22, 2023, a police officer met with the father in the lobby of the Stillwater Police Department where he gave details about Cheatham’s alleged crimes. That day, Cheatham was arrested and booked into the Payne County Jail in Stillwater.
Before her arrest, Cheatham was in the process of being hired by the Choctaw-Nicoma Park School District on Oklahoma County but she never worked for the school district, which has terminated the hiring process. On Facebook, she listed Nicoma Park Elementary School in Nicoma, Oklahoma County as her place of employment as a paraprofessional.
Cheatham was charged with child sexual abuse, child sexual exploitation, possession of child pornography, unlawful possession of a controlled drug and unlawful access to a computer to violate Oklahoma statutes. On August 30, 2023, she pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Bond for Cheatham was set at $75,000. On September 11, 2023, she will attend her first preliminary hearing and will be represented by a court-appointed lawyer.
