Akron man accused of sexually assaulting children during babysitting jobs

AKRON, Ohio — An Akron man who used a website to offer babysitting services is facing multiple criminal charges after prosecutors say he sexually assaulted the children he was hired to watch.

Timothy Luna, 25, is charged with six counts of rape, three counts of gross sexual imposition, and one count of importuning, according to Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh. He is being held in the Summit County Jail on a $500,000 bond, according to jail records.

Prosecutors say several children from three local communities are among the victims. Investigators say Luna was hired after posting his information on www.care.com, a website where families can search for people to assist in babysitting, senior care, tutoring, and pet care.
