HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - A lawsuit was filed against a Huntsville church daycare employee for multiple child sex abuse incidents.
Cameron White, 24, of Gurley, was arrested on Thursday for one count of Sexual Abuse of a Child Less Than 12 Years Old - Fondling.
His arrest came after Trinity United Methodist Church Child Development Center officials notified the Madison County Department of Human Resources (DHR) of allegations involving inappropriate contact between an employee and a child.
The lawsuit was filed by Bart Siniard with Siniard Law, LLC.
Siniard made the following statement regarding the lawsuit:
Today, our law firm filed a lawsuit against Cameron White, Trinity Child Development Center, and Trinity United Methodist Church as a result of multiple sexual abuse incidents that occurred recently. Our goal is to achieve accountability for what has occurred so that this never happens to another child. Due to the sensitive nature of this case and our clients’ desire for privacy, we will not be making any comments about this case at this time, nor at any time in the future.
Bart Siniard
Three different victims have come forward, claiming to have suffered some form of abuse at the hands of White.
The lawsuit does not provide specific details about those claims.
The lawsuit also accuses the church and the child care center of being negligent in preventing the abuse or following up on reports that White was a danger to children.
Prior to the lawsuit being filed, the head pastor released a statement saying they’re heartbroken by the news.
He also claims that church leaders immediately contacted authorities after learning of the allegations.
Huntsville Police officials confirmed with WAFF 48 News that White is facing a second charge of Sexual Abuse of a Child Less Than 12 Years Old - Sexual Assault with an Object.
Investigators say evidence indicates that White had inappropriate contact with two children at the daycare facility. This was discovered during the continued investigation following the first report.
Investigators are continuing to review evidence, stating that additional charges are possible.
White remains in the Madison County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
Kansas Pastor Allegedly Kidnapped Teen Girl at Gunpoint Before Sexually Assaulting Her
Katherine Schaffstall
Updated
Police in Jasper County, Missouri, arrested a pastor from Parsons, Kansas, after he allegedly held a 16-year-old girl at gunpoint and sexually assaulted her.
Joshua Price has been charged with first-degree kidnapping, two counts of armed criminal action, first-degree sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of a minor, according to Jasper County court records.
A probable cause affidavit obtained by KAKE stated that officers responded to the report of a sexual assault on November 3, 2025, that took place earlier in the day.
The victim told police she left a friend’s home and decided to walk to another friend’s house in Joplin when she got bored and decided to turn around. While she was near the intersection of 7th Street and Moffet Avenue, a vehicle with Kansas plates pulled up to the teenager and asked the victim if she needed a ride.
After she told the driver that she did not need a ride, the man allegedly pulled out a handgun and ordered her to get into the car. She followed his orders, and he drove them to Schifferdecker Park.
Price, 37, allegedly took pictures of the girl before he ordered her to get into the backseat of the vehicle. He then allegedly threatened her with the gun and tried to get her to take off her pants.
"During this time, the suspect placed his cell phone in a position to record the incident, and escalated his sexual behavior," the Joplin Police Department said in a release, per KAKE. "The victim was able to divert the attack by faking a medical emergency and asking for an ambulance."
Price later drove the teen to another location before he ordered her to get out of the car, according to the affidavit. After she was dropped off, the teen said she messaged Price on Snapchat and asked him to send a photo of himself. However, he declined her request.
Once the teen was left by herself, she went to police and showed investigators screenshots of her conversation with Price and his Snapchat username that she obtained during the scary incident. Police then used his social media and phone records to name Price as a suspect. He was eventually located and arrested on Tuesday, January 6.
Price works as a pastor at Lost Souls Ministry in Oswego, Kansas, according to KODE. He was likely in Joplin at the time of the incident because the ministry also operates a church in that town.
Following his arrest, employees of the church confirmed to KODE that Price had been suspended amid the ongoing investigation. The employees also confirmed that they have spoken to Price and reviewed court records.
A French nursery school assistant has been charged with the alleged rape and sexual assault of nine children, prosecutors said Thursday. The 59-year-old woman was arrested following complaints by the families of two children attending a nursery school in the southern village of Vic-La-Gardiole.
A French nursery school assistant has been charged with the alleged rape and sexual assault of nine children, the public prosecutor’s office in the southern city of Montpellier said Thursday.
The 59-year-old woman was arrested after authorities opened an investigation following complaints by the families of two children attending a nursery school in the southern village of Vic-La-Gardiole, it said.
The nine children were between three and four years old and “the alleged offences involve acts of digital penetration and masturbation believed to have been committed... between October 1, 2024 and July 2, 2025”, prosecutors said.
The families filed the complaint on July 2, according to a source close to the case. As a precautionary measure, the suspect was suspended from her job on July 3.
Authorities opened an investigation on July 29 for the rape of minors under the age of 15 and sexual assault on minors under the age of 15 by a person in a position of authority.
An investigating judge then “charged her with acts likely to have been committed on nine children”, prosecutors said. The suspect is being held in pre-trial detention.
Utah ex-therapist Scott Owen pleads guilty to sexually abusing two patients during sessions
The plea comes after an investigative report by The Salt Lake Tribune and ProPublica about the therapist, who was considered an expert in helping struggling gay Latter-day Saint men.
(Bethany Baker | The Salt Lake Tribune) Former Utah County therapist Scott Owen walks into the courtroom on June 10, 2024. Owen pleaded guilty Monday to felonies, admitting he sexually abused some of his patients.
Note to readers •This story describes explicit details of a sexual assault.
Provo • Former Utah County therapist Scott Owen admitted in a Provo courtroom on Monday that he sexually abused several of his patients during sessions.
Owen, 66, pleaded guilty to three charges of first-degree felony forcible sodomy, admitting that he sexually abused two male patients “using his position as a therapist” and led them to believe that sexual contact was part of their therapy.
He also pleaded no contest on Monday to another first-degree felony, attempted aggravated sexual abuse of a child, in connection with a third patient — a woman who alleged Owen touched her inappropriately during therapy sessions in 2007, when she was 13 year old. A no-contest plea means that Owen did not admit he committed the crime, but conceded that prosecutors would present evidence at trial that would likely lead a jury to convict him.
Owen faces a maximum sentence of up to life in prison during a sentencing hearing scheduled for March 31.
Provo police began investigating Owen in 2023 after The Salt Lake Tribune and ProPublica reported that summer on a range of sex abuse allegations against Owen, who had built a reputation over his 20-year therapy career as a specialist who could help gay men who were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some of the men who spoke to The Tribune said their bishop used church funds to pay for sessions where Owen allegedly also touched them inappropriately.
While Owen gave up his therapy license in 2018 after several patients complained to state licensers that he had touched them inappropriately, the allegations were never investigated by the police and were not widely known. He continued to have an active role in his therapy business, Canyon Counseling, until The Tribune and ProPublica published their investigation.
In pleading guilty on Monday, it was the first time Owen has publicly acknowledged that he sexually abused his patients. Prosecutors agreed in a plea deal to dismiss seven other felony charges that Owen faced in connection with the two male victims. Both told police that Owen engaged in sexual contact with them during therapy sessions — including kissing, cuddling and Owen using his hand to touch their anuses.
Owen admitted in plea documents to having sexual contact with the two patients, including putting one patient’s testicles in his mouth.
Owen admitted in plea agreement documents that, as a therapist, he was in a special position of trust when he had sexual contact with his patients, which he told them was “part of their treatment process.” Utah law says patients can’t consent to sexual acts with a health care professional if they believe the touching is part of a “medically or professionally appropriate diagnosis, counseling or treatment.”
In total, Provo police interviewed at least a dozen of Owen’s former patients, according to court records, all of whom say he touched them in ways they felt were inappropriate during therapy sessions. Many of those patients are men who told police they were seeking therapy with Owen for “same sex attraction.” Provo Capt. Brian Taylor has said that some of the former patients’ reports involved allegations that were outside the window of time that prosecutors had to file a case, called the statute of limitations.
Under a negotiated settlement with Utah’s licensing division, Owen was able to surrender his license more than five years ago without admitting to any inappropriate conduct, and the sexual nature of his patients’ allegations is not referenced in the documents he signed when he gave up his license.
Both state licensers and local leaders in the LDS Church knew of inappropriate touching allegations against Owen as early as 2016, reporting by The Tribune and ProPublica showed, but neither would say whether they ever reported Owen to the police. In Utah, with few exceptions, the state licensing division is not legally required to forward information to law enforcement.
The church said in response that it takes all matters of sexual misconduct seriously, and that in 2019 it confidentially annotated internal records to alert bishops that Owen’s conduct had threatened the well-being of other people or the church.
Former VBPD officer will serve 11 years for committing sex crimes against a child
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A former Virginia Beach police officer who pleaded guilty to multiple counts of sex crimes against a child was sentenced Monday.
Kyle LaLonde, 32, was sentenced to 60 years in prison with 49 years suspended, leaving 11 years to serve. A judge ruled he must be on good behavior for 30 years, he may not have any communication with minors, he may not reside with or be in close proximity to minors, and he must register with the Sex Offenses and Crimes Against Minors Registry. He will be on supervised probation for five years when he's released and complete any recommended sex offender treatment.
Back in September, Kyle LaLonde pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including possession of child pornography and sexual abuse of an animal.
Prosecutors say LaLonde committed these crimes on or around September of 2023 through March of 2024 in Virginia Beach. LaLonde was an officer with the Virginia Beach Police Department during this time, prosecutors added.

On Monday, LaLonde's attorney asked the judge to pay attention to the support he had in the courtroom, referencing LaLonde's loved ones in attendance at the hearing. He also highlighted the character witness letters written in support of LaLonde.
However, prosecutors argued that the charges LaLonde pleaded guilty to were troubling. They claim LaLonde was having discussions with an undercover FBI agent posing as a 12-year-old girl on the messaging app KIK. He sent sexually explicit messages and pornography to the undercover agent and asked for sexual acts, prosecutors added.
The judge told the court it was very obvious there was support for LaLonde from his loved ones but said the photos submitted in evidence were repulsive.
He went on to say there are a lot of red flags on how someone with a great family and job could do this.
The judge then sentenced Lalonde to 11 years.
"I appreciate the court's consideration, the prosecutor asked for 20 (years) so the court found it was an appropriate sentence but still, it's a lot of time," James Broccoletti, LaLonde's attorney, said
At his sentencing, LaLonde said he accepted responsibility for his actions and apologized. He asked for mercy so he could make it back to his family one day.
At the time of his arrest in March 2024, LaLonde had been a VBPD officer for three years, court documents show. LaLonde was also a lieutenant with the U.S. Army Reserve when he was arrested.
When LaLonde was arrested, VBPD told us he was still employed by the police department but he was "relieved of his police powers." He ultimately resigned from VBPD, effective on August 22.

A 28-year-old man was arrested after being accused of sexually abusing a child at a home-run day care, California officials said.
The victim, an 11-year-old, came forward and told officers that Ramon Castillo-Ruiz had sexually abused them on multiple occasions from the ages of 4 to 6, according to a Feb. 14 news release by the Watsonville Police Department.
Castillo-Ruiz lived in the home where the day care operated, police said.
For the hundredth time, parents, please don't put your children in a daycare where men or teenage boys are present. It's not worth the risk.
Detectives and the Santa Cruz County Anti-Crime Team executed a search warrant at the day care on Feb. 13 and found guns and ammunition in Castillo-Ruiz’s room, officers said.
He was booked into the Santa Cruz County jail and charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 and possession of a controlled substance, police said.
Officers believe there may be more victims and ask anyone with information to call 831-768-3358. Watsonville is about a 90-mile drive southeast of San Francisco.
How could social services possibly allow this to happen. Those poor Turpin kids grew up in the madness of their parents' home, and then, once rescued, were put in a home where they would be abused. Astonishing incompetence!.
California foster dad sentenced to 7 years
for abuse of child torture victims
Marcelino Olguin was sentenced to seven years in prison on Friday for abusing foster children he had been assigned to care for in his home, including some who had been previously tortured by their parents, David and Louise Turpin.
Olguin had earlier admitted to lewd acts on a child, false imprisonment and injuring a child. His wife, Rosa, and adult daughter, Lennys, both pleaded guilty to child cruelty and were each given four years of formal probation.
"Today's sentencing marks a significant step in delivering justice to the victims who endured unimaginable abuse," said Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin in a statement. "These children were placed in a position of vulnerability after surviving intense trauma, only to be further exploited by someone who was entrusted with their care."
The lawyers representing the Olguins stated that the plea deal allowed the women to avoid jail time.

"My client saved his family," said Paul Grech, Marcelino Olguin's attorney, after the hearing, though he declined to discuss the case further.
The Olguin family was given the responsibility of caring for the children after they were rescued from horrifically abusive conditions in their parents' home in the Southern California community of Perris. Their parents, David and Louise Turpin, pleaded guilty in 2019 to torture and years of abuse that included shackling some of their 13 children.
The Turpin parents, who starved their children and provided them with only minimal education, were sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years. On Friday, a statement prepared by one of the Turpin children who had stayed in the Olguins' home was read out in court by a victim's advocate.
"All I wanted was to finally have a loving family and to recover from my trauma, but unfortunately I did not receive that," the statement said. The unnamed victim is still recovering and learning to trust, but forgives the family in an act of faith, according to the statement.
A report found that the social service system failed the Turpin children, who ranged in age from 2 to 29 when they were rescued by authorities from their parents' home after their 17 year old sister escaped and called 911. Eventually six of the children were placed with the Olguins.
Social services need to be held to account for allowing this to happen. I can hardly imagine a more incompetent way of dealing with those children.
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The Socorro Independent School District voted to terminate a Clarke Middle School math teacher on Thursday night, Oct. 17, after he was arrested twice on sexual abuse charges involving children last month, according to the school district’s agenda and court documents obtained by KTSM.
As we have previously reported, Llojan Almaraz, 28, was arrested by Socorro Independent School District (ISD) Police on Friday, Sept. 13, and charged with improper relationship between an educator and student, child grooming, indecency with a child, and sexual performance of a child. He posted bond the following day on Saturday, Sept. 14, according to El Paso County Jail records.
Almaraz was then arrested again the following week on Friday, Sept. 20, by Socorro ISD Police, and charged with two counts of online solicitation of a minor. He posted bond that same day.
Court documents say on Aug. 28, a Walter Clarke Middle School officer received a report of an improper relationship between an educator and a student.
The officer met with the middle school’s principal who informed the officer that Almaraz had been “improperly communicating with a female student from the campus.”
Almaraz, who was employed at Walter Clarke Middle School since Oct. 2021, was the victim’s teacher during the 2023-2024 school year, according to court documents.
According to court documents, a law enforcement official interviewed the victim’s mother who said that her daughter was communicating with Almaraz via telephone calls and text messages.
A forensic interview was conducted with the victim. The victim said that she started talking with Almaraz when she was 12-years-old through the “SportsYou” application, which is used to communicate school-based sports information between coaches, parents, and student-athletes in October 2023, according to court documents.
The victim said that she and Almaraz eventually exchanged telephone numbers and would communicate by telephone calls and text message conversations.
According to court documents, the victim said she and Almaraz met on two separate occasions during June.
The victim said the first time she and Almaraz met, they spent about half an hour in the back seat of his truck. She explained there was kissing and touching involved, but they did not have sex in any of the two separate occasions, according to court documents.
According to court documents, a “juvenile witness” was interviewed regarding the allegations made against Almaraz. The witness said Almaraz would buy the victim gifts and food throughout the school year.
A law enforcement official also discovered that Almaraz gave the victim funds through money transfer applications for Starbucks and other purchases, according to court documents.
According to court documents, the victim’s mother also said that Almaraz gave her daughter gifts such as a “lanyard, a Funko Pop action figure, Pandora bracelet charms and a gold necklace.”
The victim’s mother provided law enforcement with a screen-recorded text thread conversation between the victim and Almaraz. In some of those texts, Almaraz stated that he wanted to have sex with the victim, date her, and get her pregnant. The victim’s mother said that Almaraz also sent her daughter live images of himself exposing his genitals, according to court documents.
On Sept. 5, a law enforcement official spoke to a second juvenile witness who attended Clarke Middle School from 2021 to 2023. This witness said Almaraz was her seventh-grade math teacher.
According to court documents, the second witness said Almaraz began communicating with her through the SportsYou application. She also said Almaraz communicated with her during her eighth-grade year via a fake TikTok account.
The second witness said Almaraz gave her gifts and felt that she was being “groomed” by him. She said she then stopped communicating with Almaraz, according to court documents.

A 25-year-old man has been sentenced to 60 years in prison after federal authorities revealed that he concealed images of himself committing sexual assaults against preschool-aged children within a (fake) calculator app on his phone, as announced on Friday.
Humberto Barreto Jr. faced indictment in January and entered a guilty plea in June regarding two counts related to the production of child pornography. He has been mandated to register as a sex offender.
Court documents reveal that the inquiry was initiated after Barreto Jr.’s former girlfriend informed law enforcement about finding internet searches related to child pornography on his mobile device. Upon confrontation, Barreto Jr. acknowledged his use of cryptocurrency to buy child sexual abuse images, stating that “age did not matter” to him.
Officials reported that a forensic investigation uncovered numerous images and a minimum of 30 recordings depicting the sexual exploitation of minors, including very young children.Authorities discovered a storage application camouflaged as a calculator, in which Barreto Jr. concealed videos of his sexual assaults on young girls aged 4 and 5, as stated in court documents.
The investigation was spearheaded by the Dallas Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations in collaboration with the Howard County Sheriff’s Office, with support from the Big Spring Police Department.
“This lengthy sentence is proof that this defendant’s deviant behavior of victimizing and sexually exploiting children will not stand, “said Travis Pickard, Special Agent in Charge of HSI Dallas.
Riverside Couple Admit Sexually Abusing
Their Two Kids
A Riverside couple who sexually abused their two children for years pleaded guilty Thursday to multiple felony charges.
Joshua Daniel Hawkins, 37, and Sabrina Lynn Hawkins, 33, admitted their crimes just as a preliminary hearing was set to get underway Thursday at the Riverside Hall of Justice. The pair reached separate plea agreements with the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office.
Joshua Hawkins pleaded guilty to four counts of lewd acts on a minor, two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, and one count each of sodomy of a minor, forced oral copulation of a child, forcible penetration of a person under duress or fear and child abuse, as well as a sentence-enhancing allegation of targeting multiple victims in a sex crime.
In exchange for his admissions, prosecutors agreed to drop more than a dozen related charges against the defendant.
His spouse admitted two counts each of oral copulation of a child and lewd acts on a minor, along with one count of sodomy of a minor. Prosecutors also agreed to drop just over a dozen charges against Sabrina Hawkins in exchange for her plea.
Superior Court Judge Emma Smith scheduled a sentencing hearing for Dec. 12 at the Riverside Hall of Justice. The proposed sentence under the plea bargain with Joshua Hawkins is 80 years to life in state prison, while the indicated sentence for Sabrina Hawkins is 40 years to life behind bars.
The defendants are both being held without bail at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning.
They were arrested following an extensive investigation by the Riverside Police Department’s Sexual Assault-Child Abuse Unit. Joshua Hawkins was taken into custody in November 2021, while his wife was booked into jail three months later.
According to Riverside police Officer Ryan Railsback, detectives received information in early November 2021 pointing to assaults on two children, identified in court documents only as “K.H.” and “J.H.,” in the Orangecrest area of the city.
Railsback said that detectives uncovered Joshua Hawkins had engaged in “ongoing sexual abuse of (his) teenage daughter.”
“During their investigation, detectives learned of additional sexual abuse taking place against the victim’s male sibling, by their stepmother (Sabrina Hawkins),” the police spokesman said.
Court documents indicated that the assaults began in 2014 and continued into the fall of 2021. The circumstances behind the abuse and how the activity was ultimately revealed to authorities were not disclosed.
“The (defendants) have been involved in community and school activities in and around the neighborhood where they lived,” Railsback said, suggesting investigators suspected other minors may have been targeted by the pair, but no evidence of that ever surfaced.
Neither defendant had documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.
