Former Delco woman extradited from Ohio in child sex abuse case
A former Delaware County resident accused of using a 3-year-old girl to create child pornography four years ago has been arrested in Ohio and extradited to Pennsylvania, according to state Attorney General Josh Shapiro.
“This is an egregious case – a (woman) who preyed upon and sexually abused ... (a) 3-year-old ...,” said Shapiro in a release announcing the arrest. “Strong law enforcement collaboration between my office and (Ohio) Attorney General (Mike) DeWine’s office led to her arrest and she will face charges in our commonwealth. My office will hold this woman – and anyone we find abusing children in Pennsylvania – accountable for their crimes.”
Kayla Parker, 26, of the 2300 block of Smithville Road in Dayton, Ohio, is facing 12 charges including child pornography, sexual exploitation of children, child endangerment, indecent assault of a person less than 13 years old and conspiracy.
Images of the child victim were discovered in July when investigators executed a search warrant at the Upper Darby home of Parker’s ex-boyfriend, David Carbonaro, according to an affidavit of probable cause written by Attorney General’s Office Special Agent Brian King.
King, also a member of the Pennsylvania Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, said in the affidavit that investigators discovered several images of a child in various stages of undress on a digital camera in Carbonaro’s bedroom.
Carbonaro, 25, of the 7200 block of Bradford Road, identified the child, the affidavit says. Further investigation revealed more than 150 images of the child partially or fully nude, according to the affidavit, which Carbonaro described as a “photo shoot,” as well as a video file. One image allegedly included a woman’s hand reaching inside the victim’s underwear and apparently touching her genital area.
Special agents John Rodriguez and William Jones, with the Ohio Office of the Attorney General, interviewed Parker in September. She allegedly told the investigators that on numerous occasions, she undressed the girl and escorted her to a bedroom where Carbonaro was waiting. Parker said she would shut the door, leaving them alone, according to the affidavit.
“Parker claimed that she never saw the victim being sexually abused, but explained that she was certain Carbonaro was acting inappropriately with the victim,” the affidavit says. “When asked if she had ever reported the abuse to anyone, Parker said that she had not.”
Parker also identified the hand in the victim’s underwear as her own and admitted it “was south” of where it should have been on the victim, according to the affidavit. She claimed that she put her hand on the victim on more than one occasion at Carbonaro’s direction and said he would often masturbate while watching her abuse the young girl, according to the affidavit.
Parker estimated she lived with Carbonaro for one year at the Upper Darby address before moving to Ohio four years ago. She said she never told anyone about what happened there because she feared getting in trouble, according to the affidavit.
Carbonaro was arrested in July and charged with 68 counts including possession and dissemination of child pornography. He remains in custody pending $250,000 cash bail and is scheduled for a pretrial conference before Delaware County Common Pleas Court Judge Barry Dozor this week.
“The crimes that this (woman) is accused of are absolutely appalling, and although she may have believed that she left her
indicators of student academic achievement, school building performance, and educator effectiveness.
He pointed out that replacing the Keystones with a standardized test that many students already take, like the SAT, would result in fiscal and educational benefits.
“We know that nearly three-quarters of all high school students already take the SAT, the SAT is aligned with our curriculum, and the federal government will accept the SAT,” he said. “Furthermore, using the SAT in place of the Keystones will open up college scholarship and postsecondary opportunities to thousands of students who may not be able to afford it on their own.”
In fact, the Coatesville Area School District is already providing the PSAT free to all 10th and 11th grade students and the SAT free to all 11th grade students with tremendous results. Students also receive, at no cost to the district, a free personalized SAT study course from Khan academy. As a result, Coatesville is seeing students who would never have had the opportunity to take a college entrance exam now planning to go on to higher education.
Dinniman also said that lawmakers also need to take a closer look at the current system of teacher evaluation, which is too narrowly focused on the results of standardized tests in only a few subject areas.
