According to documents Laughton told Groves to touch a child’s genitals, so she took a picture and sent it to him for ‘sexual gratification’.

She ‘allegedly used natural bathroom breaks for the children,’ such as ‘routine diaper pull-up changes prior to naptime … to take multiple photos of the prepubescent children in a private bathroom.’

Groves, a former employee at Creative Minds Early Learning Center was charged last month with sexual exploitation of children and distribution of child pornography.

She is accused of taking naked pictures of the three- to five-year-old children and disseminating them, according to charging documents.

The charge of sexual exploitation of children can lead to a sentence of up to 30 years in prison.
