She was trusted to take care of defenseless children, but now one Ohio
daycare worker is accused of doing the unthinkable -- and filming it.
Heather Koon, 25, faces two counts of rape after police say they found
video on her laptop of her "engaging in sexual conduct with an
unknown infant." An investigation also revealed an additional victim,
according to WOIO.
Police allegedly found the video on Koon's laptop at the apartment
where her boyfriend, James Osborne, lives. Osborne is a registered sex
offender. Both Koon and Osborne were arrested Oct. 4 within hours of
each other, and were held at Lorain County Jail.
UPDATE: Oct. 8, 8:15 a.m. -- At her arraignment Oct. 7, prosecutors
said that the state has "very strong evidence" against Koon, and
stated that her alleged victims were between the ages 1 and 2, WKYC
reported. Her bond was set at $2 million -- $1 million for each felony
count.
WKYC reported that both sexual assaults took place at ABC Kidz
child care in Elyria. Concerned parents said they fear their children
may also be victims.
"He doesn't like his diaper being changed. He doesn't like being
touched... When I used to drop him off there he used to scream so
bad that he would be like hyperventilating," Andrea Lankey, whose 2-
year-old was under Koon's care, told the station.
In a statement, Carlos Johnson, the attorney for ABC Kidz, said the
company does not believe there were other victims:
"The daycare in cooperating with the investigation and we’re
compiling a list to determine which kids were present while she,
Heather Koon, worked there. We do not think there are more victims,
but out of the abundance of cautiousness we want to make sure that
we are correct."
The father of the victim in the video told WOIO that representatives
from ABC Kidz "tried to act like it was a simple assault" when they
contacted him.
"A few hours later they called us back again and asked us to keep it
discreet," the father, who wishes to remain anonymous, told the
station.
Sadly, this isn't the first time a daycare employee has been accused
of molesting children. In 2012, an instructor at a Pittsburgh daycare
was sentenced to at least 35 years in prison

Sick. Just another reason to add to my list of reasons why I will never send my children to daycare.
