A lawsuit filed in north Alabama has sent shockwaves through a tight-knit faith community, as disturbing allegations surface against a former church daycare employee accused of sexually abusing children entrusted to his care.
The Huntsville church daycare employee lawsuit, filed in Madison County, names Cameron White, Trinity United Methodist Church Child Development Center, and Trinity United Methodist Church, alleging failures that allowed repeated abuse to occur behind classroom doors meant to protect the youngest and most vulnerable.
Arrest follows allegations at church daycare
Cameron White, 24, of Gurley, was arrested Thursday on a charge of sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12 involving fondling, authorities said. His arrest followed a report from officials at Trinity United Methodist Church Child Development Center, who alerted the Madison County Department of Human Resources after receiving allegations of inappropriate contact between an employee and a child.
What began as a single report quickly widened. Investigators say the case deepened as evidence emerged, like cracks spreading across glass under pressure.
