BRONX, N.Y. — A former Bronx daycare worker was sentenced Thursday to 14 years in state prison and 25 years of post-release supervision after being convicted of sexually abusing two young girls over a five-year span at a family-run childcare facility.
Jaime Sanchez, 33, was found guilty by a jury on April 24 of multiple counts including first-degree and second-degree Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child, as well as Endangering the Welfare of a Child. Bronx Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Rosenbleuth ordered that Sanchez serve 10 years and four years on the two main charges consecutively.
Prosecutors said Sanchez committed repeated acts of sexual abuse between 2015 and 2020 while working at My Precious Little Angels Daycare on Reverend James A. Polite Avenue. The facility was operated by his family.
One victim was between the ages of two and five when the abuse occurred; the other was between eight and ten. The assaults took place in various areas of the daycare, according to the Bronx District Attorney’s Office.
Each of the victims’ families reported the abuse to police in 2022. Sanchez had moved to Florida in 2020 and was extradited to New York on November 30, 2022.
“The defendant violated the trust of parents who put their daughters in the care of this facility,” said Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark. “These little girls should have been safe but instead he subjected them to horrific abuse.”
The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Christopher Conway of the Child Abuse/Sex Crimes Bureau.
