Daycare worker charged with sexually assaulting child at Halifax centre
HALIFAX — A Halifax daycare provider says it is trying to reassure parents after one of its employees was charged with sexually assaulting a young child on the job.
Police say they were told on the evening of Aug. 22 that a man working at the Kids and Company daycare on Barrington Street touched one of the children in a sexual manner earlier that day.
The man was suspended the same day.
Mitchell Casavechia, 20, of Cole Harbour turned himself in to police headquarters last Thursday and is now facing charges of sexual assault and sexual interference.
