Richmond County woman accused of molesting an 8-year-old girl and videotaping her received a high bond in court Friday.

Crystal Ann King's bond was set at $100,000 by Richmond County Superior Court Judge Daniel J. Craig, according to a report by the Augusta Chronicle. The Hephzibah woman is accused of molesting her 8-year-old daughter and allowing her husband Kenneth Shawn King, 35, to videotape the incident. King, 33, allegedly touched her daughter, placed shaving cream on the victim and recorded the incident. Officials say her husband then compiled several videos of his stepdaughter that showed the act.

The judge prohibited Crystal Ann King from contacting her daughter and barred her from doing any photography or video on her social media due to the nature of her accusations.

“As a matter of fact,” Craig said during the hearing, “I’m going to prohibit you from operating a computer.”

King is also banned from using a cellphone or telephone except to talk to her attorney.
