AKRON, OH – A 26-year-old man in Ohio, who worked as a babysitter through Care.com, has been sentenced to 15 and 20 1/2 years in a state correctional facility for sexually assaulting at least three children. According to authorities, Summit County Court of Common Pleas Judge Joy Malek Oldfield delivered the sentence to Timothy Depatrick Luna on Wednesday.
Court records show that Luna reached a plea agreement with prosecutors on Friday, pleading guilty to two counts of first-degree felony rape and two counts of third-degree felony gross sexual imposition.
As part of the agreement, Luna was designated a Tier III sexual offender, the highest designation. Upon his release, he will be required to register as a sex offender with the local sheriff’s office every 90 days for the remainder of his life, said prosecutors in an email to Law&Crime.
Originally, Luna faced six counts of rape with additional specifications of being a sexually violent predator, three counts of gross sexual imposition, and one count of importuning.
These additional charges and specifications were dropped in exchange for his guilty plea.
At least one of the victims was as young as 6, according to court records.
