Heather Koon, Ohio Daycare Worker, Arrested For Raping 2 Infants And Filming It
Ohio daycare worker, Heather Koon, is being held on $2 million bail after she was arraigned on two charges of rape this past Monday. The 25-year-old woman is being accused of sexually assaulting two children under her care at ABC Kidz daycare.
According to the Lorain County Sheriff’s Department, Koon and her boyfriend, James Osborne, who is already a registered sex offender, were both arrested after a video showing the assault was found on Osborne’s computer. A 1-year-old and a 2-year-old at the daycare have been identified as the 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,” ABC Kidz daycare's attorney, Carlos Johnson, said in a statement. “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 one of the children who was raped gave advice to other parents for dealing with this unsettling news, such as speaking with their child or taking them to see a physician. Officials are worried that there may be other victims beyond the two shown in the video.
"I still haven't wrapped my mind around it. It's every parent's worst nightmare," the father told Fox 19 as he went on to shame ABC Kidz for how they handled the situation. "They tried to act like it was a simple assault. A few hours later they called us back again and asked us to keep it discrete."
