A Glen Cove man has been arrested and is accused of inappropriately touching a child at a day care in Westbury.
Detectives say Jose Rodriguez inappropriately touched a 10-year-old boy while employed at a day care.
Police say it started in 2016 and continued through 2020 at a house on Elizabeth Street in Westbury.
A neighbor tells News 12 she used to work at that day care and that Rodrigues ran it out of his house.
Earlier this month, the 49-year-old walked into a Dunkin’ where the alleged victim is currently employed.
The victim notified police, and Rodriguez was arrested.
Rodriguez is charged with a course of sexual conduct against a child and endangering the welfare of a child.
He is being held on bail, and a judge issued an order of protection for Rodriguez to stay away from the victim.
Anyone who believes they may have been a victim is asked to call police.
