Springdale Day Care Worker Charged With Raping Student
Police: Inappropriate Activity Caught On Tape
POSTED: 5:42 pm CST February 12, 2008
Cesar Monarrez, 18, had worked at the Royal Children's Academy part-time for about three or four months, officials said. According to an arrest warrant for Monarrez, the alleged victim described how he inappropriately touched her.
She told authorities that her privates were burning because "Bubba" touched her with a knife inside his pocket. Police identified Bubba as Monarrez, and investigators said closed-circuit video shows him pushing his hands beneath the girl's waistband while she was asleep.
Monarrez has been charged with rape.
Authorities said the allegations came out on Feb. 5, and the worker has not been allowed back since.
"What I would say to parents is that the owner of this company and myself have an utmost concern about their safety. There wasn't anything that we saw or heard from any of our employees that would let us think for a second that there was something going on," said director Howard Davis.
Davis said his day care center does employ some 18-year-olds as teachers.
Davis said he chose not to notify parents of other day care students after the allegations surfaced because he did not know what to tell them for sure. Now that Monarrez has been charged with rape, Davis said, he plans to send out a letter.
