A babysitter has been arrested and charged in connection with sexually abusing a child under his care over several months, police said.
Anne Arundel County Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division detectives received information in reference to reports of a possible child sex abuse on March 20.
Police said investigators gathered evidence during the investigation, learning that 22-year-old Andrew Dickinson Grabau, Annapolis, had sexually abused a child over several months in 2013.
Annapolis is in the state of Maryland, USA, just east of Washington, D.C.
Grabau was hired by the victim’s parents to babysit and family members told investigators they left their child in his care on numerous occasions between April 2013 and October 2013. The offenses took place at the victim’s residence, police said.
Based on the investigation charges were filed against Grabau and he was arrested on a warrant on Friday. He was charged with sex abuse of a minor, third- and fourth-degree sex offenses and second-degree assault, stemming from the investigation that was initiated on March 20.
Third and fourth degree sex offenses in Maryland refer to mostly non-violent acts where fear may have been a factor, but stops short of full-blown rape.
Grabau was released on $25,000.00 bail.
Anyone with information or concerns regarding Grabau is encouraged to contact Detective Joshua Williams at 410-222-3484.
No indication in this story on whether the child was male or female or how old he/she is.
My personal opinion is - don't hire men or boys to babysit your children, especially young men or teenage boys.
