Babysitter Caught on Video Molesting Boy

(San Luis Obispo, California) A 19-year-old babysitter, Elizabeth Anne Dawson, was caught on a hidden video camera molesting a 6-year-old boy with Down syndrome. The boy's mother set up the nanny-cam to monitor Dawson's performance.

According to investigators, Dawson was caught masturbating on top of the boy and fondling him while baby-sitting him at his home on April 20. She was arrested the next day.

From San Luis Obispo Tribune:

The child's mother left the house for about five hours while Dawson baby-sat the child alone. After the mother returned, she viewed the video, which she did regularly.

According to investigators, the video showed Dawson allegedly masturbating in front of the child while watching television.

After removing her clothing, she allegedly lay on top of the child, had him play with her breasts and placed her genitalia in his face, investigators said.

Investigators said in the report that they interviewed Dawson at her home, who told them she had the child touch her breast for sexual gratification while masturbating.

In San Luis Obispo Superior Court, Dawson pleaded not guilty to charges of committing lewd acts on a child. She is free on $50,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for August 7.
