A man who worked as a babysitter and a nanny has been charged with indecency with a child, and investigators believe there could be more victims. Authorities have appealed to the public as they look into the case. The charge has raised concern among families in the area who relied on caregivers.
Investigators identified the man as 21-year-old Evan Moore. He has been charged with indecency with a child, according to authorities. The charge places the case in the hands of the courts as the investigation continues.
Officials said Moore had worked as a babysitter and a nanny in Montgomery County. Those caregiving roles would have placed him in contact with children in the community. Authorities pointed to that work as they described the scope of their inquiry.
According to investigators, the case involves a 13-year-old. Authorities have not released information that could identify the young person. The focus has remained on the investigation rather than on details about the child.
Moore was arrested yesterday, officials said. He was taken into custody as authorities pressed ahead with the case. The arrest marked an early step in what investigators signaled may be a wider inquiry.
Officials said they believe there could be more victims and are asking anyone who interacted with Moore to come forward. They framed the appeal as a way to make sure no other potential victims are missed. Moore is presumed innocent unless and until the case is proven in court.
