She was trusted to take care of defenseless children, but now one Ohio daycare worker is accused of doing the unthinkable — and filming it.
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.
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.
