Prosecutors have filed child molestation charges against the operator of a Shoreline day care accused of sexually assaulting a 5-year-old girl there.
Blue Sunshine Daycare owner James Christopher Day, 22, faces two first-degree child molestation charges following allegations that he repeatedly assaulted a girl under his care.
-------------------
The day care has been shut down and the website taken down. The ShorelineAreaNews featured Blue Sunshine as a new business in North City when it opened in December of last year. See the story.
According to the PI story, Day was investigated on similar charges in Island County. One of the challenges in checking out people who will be dealing with children is that the criminal databases only list convictions, not charges. On one hand, adults should not be victimized by false or unproven charges. On the other hand, crimes against children do not often result in successful convictions.
