A 19-year-old Reading woman has been charged with sexually abusing a 9-year-old boy she baby-sat.
Police say Jalissa D. Baez sexually assaulted the boy on numerous occasions between March and June while she was alone baby-sitting him. The boy's father was away at work when the alleged assaults took place.
The Reading Eagle reports that Baez was arraigned Thursday on charges of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, indecent assault and related counts. She is jailed on $25,000 bail.
It's not clear if Baez has an attorney. A message left at a phone listing for Baez was not returned Friday.
