See The Surprise A Dad Walked In On At 5-Year-Old Daughter’s Day Care

A Washington dad got the shock of his life after walking in on a childcare worker, Ian Moore, 31, raping his five-year-old daughter at the day care centre she was enrolled.

According to DailyMail, the father, who has not been identified, says he was picking his daughter up from the facility on June 5, when he found the male teacher crouched behind a bookshelf with the child.  

At the time, the teacher said they were just having a ‘tickle fight,’ but after the father and daughter left the school, the girl said the man had touched her inappropriately.

The father then called Child Protective Services, who came to interview his daughter.

Social workers say the girl, who they described as ‘bright’ and ‘articulate’ in court papers, described being raped to them in their interview.

Police subsequently interviewed Moore who admitted to touching the girl beneath her underwear, but said it was an accident.

He was arrested on Friday, June 9, and booked into the King County Jail on a charge of first-degree rape.

Following his arrest, Moore’s grandmother spoke out to Q13 Fox, saying she was taken aback by the scandal.

‘It’s hard to believe it’s true. He was raised in a good environment and we don’t know of any reason [for] this happening,’ Moore’s grandmother, who wished to remain anonymous, said.

When asked what she would say to the family of the victim, if the allegations were true, Moore’s grandmother said: ‘I’m very, very sorry. If it’s true, I’m sorry, please forgive us. We’re crying for everybody, we’re crying for the little girl, we’re crying for her family.’

Justin Montermini, a spokesperson for the day care center, says Moore was immediately put on leave following the allegations.

The investigation into the alleged rape continues, and officials say they are looking into whether there may be more victims.
