A 32-year-old Webster man who allegedly advertised as a babysitter on Craigslist has been charged with sexually assaulting one of his charges.
Steven P. Knox is free on $30,000 bond after being arrested Thursday on a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child under the age of 14.
According to court records, a 6-year-old girl told investigators that Knox, whom she knew as her babysitter, put his finger in her private area four times. The girl said Knox had put "ice" on his finger and that the penetration had burned.
The assault allegedly took place at Knox's home on West Bay Area Boulevard in late June, according to court records.
A sexual assault examination on June 24 at Texas Children's Hospital showed that the girl had a 3-millimeter tear on her vagina, court records stated.
The girl's mother said she found Knox online through the Craigslist website and allowed him to babysit her three children for a few months.

Anyone stupid enough to get a babysitter on Craigslist should be immediately charged with felony child endangerment.

If they just allowed babysitters to marry, this wouldn’t happen.

The incident rate of crime, mayhem and murder being sourced out on Craig's list seems to be growing. But, Craig's list is just the modern day vehicle for a society going down hill.
I think it would have been just as easy to pull off these various deeds using want ads 30 or 40 years ago. It's just that our society was so callous and heartless then.

Not only that, who would hire a 32-year old man to babysit the kids alone? Seems that’s just inviting trouble.

Freedom I can see how you think that but I don’t. Nothing wrong with trying to find a reasonable job on Craigslist.
Just do it the right way.
First of all they hired a man. Being that he is male that should have sent up alarm bells. Most experts I have read on this matter say it is better to hire a woman.
Also did they check references? Both work and personal? Wanna bet the answer to both is no?
Did they interview him to any length at all? Wanna bet they did not?
Yea. Get what you ask for.

The jerk was interviewed on 10 o'clock news last night and looked a lot more clean cut than this picture,
He said that "God told him that he would be vindicated."
So he's totally nuts on top of everything else he has done.

I've done considerable babysitting time. Obviously only kids of people who know me well but there's no reason a male shouldn't babysit. Besides the fact that I'm actually willing to watch infants. I actually prefer to watch infants.

who would be stupid enough to hire a man to babysit their kids? That one pedophile who wrote a book said one of the worst things a parent could do is having a male watch your kids.
men should not be alone with little kids, especially girls. coaches, priests, babysitters.
To: freedumb2003
Craigslist is no different than a newspaper classified section.
Which doesn’t really nullify your point.
Raising your kids yourself instead of by proxy is a better way.

Ohmigosh, I have to say exactly the same think I just said on another thread. People don’t know anything anymore.
MORONS!
Who on earth leaves little children with a stranger?
Those kids should be taken away from that mother, she clearly is mentally deficient.
