Online, She Preached as 'Super Mom.' In Real Life, She Allegedly Made Child Do Horrific Things in Her Bedroom By Samira Asma-Sadeque

A Nevada woman who created an online community for mothers is facing child abuse charges.

Christiann Ault was charged with two counts of lewdness with a child and one count of child abuse or neglect pertaining to alleged incidents in 2022, according to Clark County Court records reviewed by PEOPLE.

Ault was an administrator of the Facebook group “Las Vegas Super Moms,” News 3, 8 News Now and 13 KTNV reported. News 3 identified her as the founder of the group.

The private group was founded in 2021 as a space for moms in Las Vegas to “talk, connect, rant, laugh, vent, cry, celebrate, and even occasionally meet up,” according to its description on Facebook, News 3 reported. It had nearly 30,000 members, per the outlets, but its activity has been paused for a month.

According to court documents reviewed by PEOPLE, Ault allegedly made the child rub their privates on her chest and legs “with the intent of arousing, appealing to, or gratifying the lust, passions or sexual desires of defendant.” (The indictment was shared online by 13 KTNV and News 3).

The child told authorities Ault had lured them into the acts with the promise of “iPad time,” per court documents cited by 8 News Now and News 3.

“And then it was making, she was wanting me to rub my private areas on her. I didn’t want to. It made me feel uncomfortable,” the child said.

Ault also allegedly locked the child in a room because she was mad at them and told them she hated them, the child told authorities.

Ault allegedly threatened the child with violence if they revealed her abuse, per court records cited by 8 News Now.

“She, um, told me don’t tell anyone this, or something bad is going to happen,” the child alleged, adding that “something bad” entailed: “Spank me, yell at me, probably break my eardrums.”

The child told a grand jury that the abuse spanned nearly two years, once or twice a week in Ault’s bedroom apartment, until March 2024, according to unspecified paperwork cited by News 3.

The evidence reviewed by a grand jury includes a video call in which Ault allegedly pleads with the child not to speak up, saying that doing so could land her in jail, 8 News Now reported.

“I’m sorry, baby. I’m just scared,” Ault told the child in the video call. “I’m just scared I’m gonna go to jail, to be honest with you, I’m scared because you and I have always been best buds, and I miss you.”

“I just need you to know how important it is to always tell the truth,” Ault allegedly said in another portion of the call. “I know you’re scared right now, and I know you’re confused. I know you are.”

Ault has pleaded not guilty to the charges, court records show.
