Montgomery Village Man Arrested For Sexual Abuse Of Two Children

A Montgomery Village man was arrested for sexually abusing two children at his wife's in-home day care, Montgomery County police said.

The girls, ages 3 and 7, attended the Playing and Learning Family Child Care, which is located in the basement of a residence in the 18000 block of Royal Bonnett Circle, police said.

The children provided their mother with information, and the mother contacted police, according to a Montgomery County police news release.

David Fernando Javier Zaraysi, 66, who is the husband of the girls' day care provider, and lives at the same address as the center, was arrested March 14, the release said. He is charged with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor, two counts of committing a second-degree sex offense, and two counts of committing a third-degree sex offense, police said. He is being held on $500,000 bond, the release said.

The investigation is continuing into whether other children who attended the day care were sexually abused by Zaraysi, police said. Anyone with knowledge of  inappropriate contact between Zaraysi and a child is asked to contact the county police Family Crimes Division at 240-773-5400.

Any parent that has a child that attended or is attending the Playing and Learning Family Child Care should speak to the child about any inappropriate behavior that may have occurred, police said. Anyone who believes that their child may have been a victim also should contact the Family Crimes Division.
