OMAHA, Neb. - Police have released new details and identified two Omaha day cares where an employee allegedly sexually assaulted eight girls.
Bond was set Friday at $2 million for 24-year-old Mark Mays.
Mays was interviewed Thursday and made incriminating statements regarding sexual contact with eight girls ranging in age from 23 to 34 months old. Mays was arrested and booked for two counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child and six separate counts of third-degree sexual assault of a child.
“It's horrific," said Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine. “We're talking about very young children. Any child’s terrible, these are like 2-year-olds.” Kleine said the disturbing details surrounding the charges against Mays speak for themselves. “It’s an ongoing investigation. There's a lot of work being done checking on places he worked, young children he was involved with." Kleine said authorities have searched Mays' house and there is a warrant to search his cell phone.
The case initially came to light when police got word on January 12th of a report made at the day care where Mays worked. Prosecutors said Friday that on January 12th, two employees of the Little Hands at Work and Play day care near 120th and Blondo walked in on Mays with a 2-year-old girl on his lap. She was straddling him, allegedly naked from the waist down.
Prosecutors say he admitted to penetration with a finger. He also admitted to sexual contact with several other girls at La Petite Academy near 108th and Birch streets from May 2015 to August 2015. Prosecutors said Mays also admitted to having child porn and to have taken sexual photos of some of the kids at the day care.
