After her arrest Livia Crisan, 25, smiles for the camera at the New River Valley Regional Jail.
Her mug shot was taken moments after we sat down with her in her kitchen for an interview.
After we left she turned herself into the Galax Police Department.
Investigators had taken two warrants out for her arrest, because they say the nursing assistant took pornographic pictures of two Waddell Nursing and Rehab Residents without their permission.
However, when we asked why she was being investigated, she says she did nothing wrong.
“I admitted to taking one picture,” Crisan said. “It was a picture of an old man wearing a bandana and that was it.”
According to Crisan it was not pornographic in nature.
“He was fully clothed he was sitting his wheel chair and I think it was breakfast time,” she said.
Crisan says she was first questioned about a picture by Waddell staff.
She says she showed them the picture on her cell phone, it was deleted and she went back to work.
“Nothing was said and I was sent back to the floor. A couple weeks later I’m going to the police department.”
Now, she’s facing charges and will soon have her day in court.
But before she faces a judge she wants the public to know her side.
“I want people to know that I did nothing wrong. I took a picture of an old man that I take care of,” Crisan explained.
A cell phone picture she says has landed her on the other side of the camera.

The Galax Police Department says its officers have made a second arrest in connection with pornographic pictures taken of patients at the Waddell Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
Police Chief Rick Clark says Livia Dawn Crisan of Galax is charged with two counts of “knowingly and intentionally videotaping or photographing a nonconsenting person who was 18 years of age or older when such person was nude or in a state of undress without the person permission.“
Chief Clark tells us that Crisan was arrested on Thursday. Officers previously arrested fellow former nursing home worker Sharon Walker, on the same charges.

(tellinthetruth)According to Galax Police Chief Rick Clark, “an adult protective service worker with the Galax Department of Social Services received an anonymous complaint that employees of Waddell Nursing and Rehabilitation had taken photos of patients without their consent. The photographs were described as pornographic.”
Today, 29 year-old Sharon Ann Walker of Fries was arrested.
Walker is charged with two counts of knowingly and intentionally videotaping or photographing a non-consenting person who was 18 years of age or older when such person was nude or in a state of undress without the person permission.
Walker allegedly shared the pictures with other people, but Chief Clark doesn’t believe they were posted online.
Chief Clark says the crime involved more than one patient at the nursing home and is believed to have happened between April 1, 2009 and July 15, 2009.
Walker was released on bond pending her arraignment in the Galax General District Court.
Clark tells WSLS an additional arrest is anticipated as a result of this investigation.
( allegedly shared the pictures with other people, but Chief Clark doesn’t believe they were posted online. ) so why would they post thier parents online when these were not posted on line…cant you read telling the truth.or do people in galax get together make up lies and spread them.guess they do.Or the police or liars. either way sad little town.
so no comments from anyone.The truth hurts,cant fight with a empty gun.no shots fired.
and the comment her parents are probally posted all over the internet.either you are smoking pot or fell on your head and pain stupid.she got those looks from someone so that wouldnt be so bad.(TellinThetruth ) how do you know about fresh meat were you someones dinner.
why would it be important for anyone to know she has a web site?why would that matter,seems to me your either very jealous and hoping to ruin her name more.what did you think would happen by letting people know she has a web site?I really dont care.Lord she has a myspace account too.why didnt you post a link to that.all you did is prove she isnt quilty of anything except being beautiful.with those looks do you think anyone sane believes she gets her kicks filming old people.now guide us all to the porno graghic site of geriactric patients.lol.the news is getting abit stupid.and giving her site out whats that all about.lord .whatajoke
I didnt say anything derogetory. All I did was made it known that she had a website. I agree that she is a very attractive woman. I also believe that justice will prevail. Whether she is innocent or guilty, justice will prevail.
