Texas Daycare Closed After Husband Arrested For Sexual Assault
Posted on Oct 31, 2010
The husband of a long-time Texas daycare owner was arrested for sexually assaulting one of the daycare’s children in Lampasas this week – and investigators believe that the man may have been sexually abusing children at the daycare for years and even decades.
According to CBS News, 63-year-old Mylon Ralph Bramer was arrested on Friday, October 1, by Lampasas Police. He has been charged with sexually assaulting a child and indecency with a child. The child was a pupil at the in-home child care center run by his wife, Ardythe Bramer. Ardythe Bramer has been running a daycare in her home for the past twenty years.
Mylon Bramer’s bail has been set at $125,000 -- $100,000 for the sexual assault charge and $25,000 for the indecency charge. The daycare has been closed, though it is unclear who closed the center. According to a statement released to the police, the arrest was made after a day care student told their parents that they had been sexually assaulted by the man. The case is now being investigated by Lampasas Police as well as Family and Protective Services and the Texas Rangers.
In the week since the investigation began, more former daycare pupils have come forward with similar stories of daycare abuse – with some of the victims with sexual abuse claims now fully grown adults.
This is the first time the 10-child daycare has ever been in violation of the state's child care licensing division regulations.
