TULSA, Okla. — A 24-year-old Tulsa woman, Jasmine Nicole Contreras, is facing multiple child abuse charges after authorities discovered a newborn had suffered serious injuries while in her care.
The arrest followed an investigation that began after the Tulsa Police Department received a child abuse report on May 20, 2026 (Tulsa Police Department, 2026).
Investigators indicated that a family member reported receiving a disturbing video involving the infant, which prompted the police investigation.
Investigation and Findings
According to the probable cause affidavit, the newborn was taken into protective custody and transported to a hospital for immediate treatment. Medical examinations revealed the child had multiple injuries, including bruising and broken bones. A pediatric child abuse specialist confirmed that the injuries were consistent with abuse (Tulsa County Court Records, 2026).
Investigators also reviewed video evidence reportedly recorded by Contreras, showing some of the abuse incidents. Court documents indicate that Contreras admitted during interviews to physically harming the infant on multiple occasions.
Charges and Legal Proceedings
Contreras was formally booked into the Tulsa County Jail on three counts of child abuse. Authorities are continuing to investigate the involvement of the child’s possible father, who was interviewed after additional videos connected to the case were discovered.

Evidence and Court Records

Court records show the ongoing investigation is looking into the broader circumstances of the child’s injuries and whether other individuals may be involved.
The arrest of Jasmine Nicole Contreras highlights the serious consequences of child abuse and the importance of prompt reporting. The Tulsa Police Department and child protection services are actively working to ensure the safety of the newborn and to support the ongoing investigation.
