A 16-year-old boy has been charged with sexually battering a child at an in-home daycare owned by his mother, according to Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
 
The daycare is Jacque's Teddy Bear Day Care in Trinity, according to law enforcement.
 
The teenager is accused of battering the child, a 3-year-old girl, on more than one occasion during naptime at the daycare, according to his arrest report. No adult supervises the children during naptime. 
 
He told detectives he unintentionally exposed himself in front of the children but denied doing anything further, the report says.
 
ABC Action News is not identifying the teenager because he is a juvenile.
