New York Personal Injury Attorneys BlogBrooklyn Day Care Sexual Abuse Allegations Raise Serious Questions of Safety, Oversight, and Accountability
A Brooklyn day care worker has been charged with sexually abusing multiple young children entrusted to his care, according to prosecutors. Authorities allege that Devante Brown, a 30-year-old teacher at a Bushwick child care center, repeatedly abused four girls—ages five through nine—over a period spanning more than a year.
Prosecutors state that the alleged abuse occurred both inside the day care facility, identified as The Learning Factory, and in at least one instance at Brooklyn Bridge Park. The allegations include intimidation, with one child reportedly being told that a favorite teacher would lose their job if the abuse were disclosed.
Brown has been indicted in Brooklyn Supreme Court on multiple felony charges, including sexual conduct against a child and endangering the welfare of a child. He is currently being held at Rikers Island following the court’s decision to set bail.
