A teen from Quakertown is facing sex abuse charges after a family in Chalfont Borough alleged their babysitter molested their 5-year-old son on multiple occasions.
Camryn Taylor, 19, has been charged with multiple felony counts of indecent assault of a person less than 13 years of age, endangering the welfare of a child, and corruption of minors, in connection with the investigation by the Central Bucks Regional Police Department. She is currently free after a family member posted 10% of $50,000 cash bail, court records show.
Investigators were contacted in early April by the mother of the boy, stating her son had indicated he was being molested by his babysitter — identified as Taylor — according to the criminal complaint. The boy told his mother that he had a dream about performing a sex act on Taylor and added that he knew women had pubic hair because he had seen Taylor’s private area, the charging documents state.
The mother stated that further discussion with the victim indicated that Taylor molested him on multiple occasions while she was babysitting at their home, showing her private areas to the boy, and forcing him to touch them, police said. During a forensic interview with the Bucks County Child Advocacy Center, the boy said the abuse began when he was 4 years old and provided additional details, adding that Taylor would make him wash his hands afterwards and told him not to tell anyone, according to the complaint.
Taylor was interviewed by police on May 30, where she subsequently admitted that at least one of the incidents detailed by the victim had occurred, police said.
Charges were filed against Taylor on June 12, and she was taken into custody on June 16 and arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Regina Armitage, who set bail at 10% of $50,000 cash, court records show. Taylor was freed after posting bail, and her next court appearance is a preliminary hearing on June 27 at 1 p.m. in front of Judge Armitage.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using court records and the affidavit of probable cause.
