Las Vegas Mother Christiann Ault Pleads Not Guilty to Child Abuse and Lewdness Charges
Las Vegas – Christiann Ault, a Las Vegas mother and founder of the Las Vegas Super Moms Facebook group, pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including lewdness and child abuse, during her arraignment on July 30. The charges arise from allegations that Ault engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor over a significant period.
According to court documents, Ault is accused of having a child rub their private areas on her leg and chest in a manner meant to arouse or gratify her sexual desires. The alleged abuse reportedly took place one to two times a week in Ault’s bedroom apartment, beginning in early 2022 and continuing until March 2024.
Specific Allegations Against Ault
The case came to light after the child testified before a grand jury on July 15, revealing that Ault pressured them into performing sexual acts. Reports indicate that Ault attempted to entice the child by offering iPad time in exchange for engaging in sexual activities, which the child found uncomfortable. In addition to the sexual abuse allegations, Ault is accused of verbally abusing the child, leading the minor to feel unsafe, unloved, and distressed.
According to the child’s testimony, there were instances where Ault would impose severe restrictions, including locking the child in their room for hours when angry. These actions contributed to the child’s feelings of isolation and neglect.
Investigation and Police Response
The abuse came to light when the child communicated their experiences to two adults in March 2024. Following this disclosure, the Henderson Police were called to conduct a welfare check at the child’s residence after Ault herself notified law enforcement. A Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer subsequently questioned the child regarding Ault’s alleged actions.
Court records detail that Ault made an alarming 242 attempts to contact an adult who witnessed the situation in a single day, raising concerns about her intentions and the potential influence on the witnesses.
Community Impact and Response
Christiann Ault is not only known in her community for her role in creating the Las Vegas Super Moms group but also for fostering relationships and support among mothers since its inception in 2021. However, the recent charges have significantly impacted her reputation. Following her indictment, Ault took to social media to deny the allegations, proclaiming her innocence and calling for community support during this distressing time.
Next Steps in Legal Proceedings
A jury trial for Ault has been scheduled for April 6, 2025. As the legal process unfolds, the charges against her include severe implications, reflecting the serious nature of child abuse and misconduct. The case has garnered significant attention, prompting discussions about the safety and well-being of children in the community.
