Billups is accused of making and sending the videos around May 31 and/or June 1, documents state.

The documents claim she sent the videos through the messaging service "WhatsApp" to someone in New Jersey. The WhatsApp conversation included a screenshot of Billups' Facebook account, the documents say.

Investigators say they used information from Billups' Facebook account to trace an IP address — a unique address that identifies a device on the internet — to Gloucester High School. Investigators also linked the phone number on WhatsApp that was distributing the child pornography to a credit card under Billups' name.
