The former baby sitter of a six-year-old girl has admitted he sexually assaulted her at a motel after telling the child’s mother he was taking her to a movie.
Prosecutors in Union County New Jersey said Jonathan Tavara-Nima will face a minimum of 25 years in prison when he’s sentenced in January.
The 31-year-old plead guilty to aggravated sexual assault.
Authorities said the victim’s family hired Tavara-Nima through a website. But he continued to show up at the girl’s home after his employment ended, sometimes uninvited.
Tavara-Nima told the girl’s mother in May that he was taking her to a movie., they added.
But he instead bought her a new dress and stockings and took her to a motel, where the assault occurred.
