James Jensen was running his wife's day care

[Dakota Valkyrie]

A Martinez man was arrested Friday on suspicion of committing lewd acts on a child at a day care center that he was running despite not being licensed to do so.

Investigators said 54-year-old James Jensen was running the in-home day care business for his wife. The wife is licensed, but she was not running the center at the time the crimes occurred.

"He has been running the business for the last number of months because his wife has outside employment," said Martinez police Sgt. Glenn Walkup. "That's a violation of the state-licensing requirement for day care centers."

Walkup said Jensen's wife is not involved in the criminal investigation.

The allegations came to light Monday when the mother of an 8-year-old girl reported to investigators that her daughter said she had been molested, police said.

The child was interviewed by police and a warrant was issued for Jensen's arrest. He was arrested without incident and police searched his home. Only the one girl has been identified as a victim, police said.

"There could be additional victims," police Detective Mike Estanol said. http://www.mercurynews.com/crime/ci_11273934
"It's completely unfounded," Jensen's wife, who did not give her name, said Friday. "My husband wouldn't do that. He's a good, Bible-believing man, a Christian man."http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/12/20/BACQ14RLBC.DTL

I wonder why this idiot didn't have an outside job of his own.

I don't think the wife's liability insurance is going to cover this one. Stupid bitch for putting the children at risk. Sick man for doing it...

Update: Perv has been arrested again

- A man who operated a day-care center at his Martinez home has been arrested a second time after being charged with seven counts of molestation for allegedly molesting two children, police said today.

James Jensen, 54, was arrested today and booked at Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez in lieu of $1.7 million bail.

Jensen was first arrested Dec. 19 on suspicion of engaging in lewd acts with a girl for whom he was providing care at his home. Jensen posted $100,000 bail later that day.

As Martinez police continued investigating, they located a second child who alleged being molested by Jensen, Ghisletta said.
