A Long Island man whose wife runs a daycare out of their home has been indicted for allegedly sexually abusing a half-dozen children on the property.
Angel Tacuri, 52, of Patchogue allegedly abused the girls, ages 3 to 9, from 2010 onward at his home, where his wife ran an unlicensed daycare. The district attorney's office said it appears the daycare shut down by 2015.
Prosecutors say two of the victims are related to Tacuri; the other four were from families that paid for care.
Tacuri pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail. His attorney declined comment on the charges.
