A New York City man who worked as a babysitter has been arrested and charged after police say he sexually assaulted a child for years and shared photos of the abuse online.
Milton Narvaez, 33, allegedly abused a boy in his care for more than six years while he was employed as the child's babysitter.
Court documents show that Narvaez worked as a babysitter or nanny for a number of Manhattan families. He also worked as a weekend custodian at the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church in Midtown.
Narvaez's arrest followed a police investigation into child pornography shared on peer-to-peer networks.
“Without the routine investigations by my office into the sites where these abhorrent and illegal images are traded, the repeat sexual assault of a young boy by his babysitter over the course of many years may never have been uncovered," Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. said.
Narvaez faces felony sexual assault and child pornography charges. He is being represented by a Legal Aid attorney who could not immediately be reached for comment.
Police continue to investigate the case.
