According to sources, Kristine Knizer was arrested and charged with two felonies. The investigation began on May 17 after investigators from our Major Crimes Bureau’s Cyber/Child Exploitation Squad received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
A Snapchat account associated with a Fairfax County IP address has child sexual assault content, according to NCMEC.
According to the detective’s investigation, the IP address was traced down to an apartment in Springfield’s 6800 block of Meteor Place. Knizner was identified after detectives carried out a search warrant at her home.
She was detained and taken to the Adult Detention Center, where she was released after posting a $2,000 unsecured bond. Furthermore, the victims were unrelated to Knizner’s work.
