BRONX DAYCARE WORKER INDICTED FOR SEXUALLY ABUSING 2 GIRLS

 

Victims Were Abused Over a 5-Year Period at Family Operated Facility

 Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Bronx daycare worker has been indicted for sexually abusing two young girls under his care.

 District Attorney Clark said, “No child should be subjected to sexual abuse, especially in a place where they should have been safe. This defendant allegedly used his family’s daycare facility to get access to children and prey on them in unfathomable ways.”

 District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Jamie Sanchez, 30, currently of Bradenton, Florida was arraigned Thursday on first-degree Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child, two counts of second-degree Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child, and two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child before Bronx Supreme Court Justice George Villegas. Bail was set at $200,000 cash, $200,000 bond, $200,000 partially secured bond. Sanchez is due back in court on February 28, 2023. 

 According to the investigation, between 2015 and 2020, Jamie Sanchez worked at My Precious Little Angels Daycare at 1238 Reverend James A. Polite Avenue in the Bronx. Sanchez allegedly sexually abused two girls at the facility on multiple occasions at different locations inside the daycare which was operated by the defendant’s family. One of the victims was between the ages of two to five years old when the abuse occurred. The other victim was between the ages of eight to 10 years old. The parents of each girl reported the alleged assaults to police separately in 2022. The defendant, who had moved to Florida in 2020, was extradited to New York on November 30, 2022.
