The Indonesian domestic worker was arrested in March after her employer found footage documenting physical cruelty and illicit recordings on her device. Beyond targeting the four-year-old child, she mistreated his one-year-old brother by directing a shower head's spray at his face for 16 seconds. She also distributed images and recordings of three naked children to her husband. District Judge Sharmila Sripathy-Shanaz ruled that abusing a position of domestic trust warranted substantial punishment despite the offender's claims of exhaustion.
