 |
|
Charity Sato was arrested on Friday. |
Charity Sato, 20, is accused of physically and sexually abusing three children in her care.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Sato was babysitting three children last month. Two of them were boys ages 11 and 14.
Investigators said while she was caring for the children, she gave them beer and tequila to drink.
According to the investigator's affidavit, she admitted to punching one of the boys in the groin area and forcing another child to use a sex object on her.
Sato's mother said she can't believe what happened.
"I know my daughter would never do anything like this," Patricia Sato said. "She's not even capable of harming any child in any manner, especially when she's been in this situation herself.
Sato faces five charges, including one count of battery, two counts of molestation and two counts of lewd behavior.
