Man Charged with Sexually Assaulting a Child at In-Home Daycare

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday they’ve charged a Sterling resident with sexually assaulting a child at an in-home daycare, and detectives are investigating if there are any additional victims.

Juan Alejandro Rodriguez, 52, was arrested on Aug. 28 and charged with sexual assault of a victim under the age of 13, as well as forcible sodomy of a vicim under the age of 13.

Police are currently withholding the age and gender of the child to protect the victim’s identity.

These charges were filed a day after police received a report of an incident at an in-home daycare located at 3 Carousel Court in Sterling.

The daycare has reportedly operated out of the residence on Carousel Court since fall of 2000, and Rodriguez has lived at that residence for the last 15 years, although overseeing children was not among his duties at the daycare.

The daycare was found to be unlicensed through a joint investigation by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and Loudoun Child Protective Services.

Anyone with any information regarding this case is encouraged to contact Detective Cresswell with the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Juvenile Sex Crimes Unit at 703-777-0475.
