Donato sexually exploited and took indecent liberties with a child who he was babysitting, the Carolina Beach Police Department told our partners at WECT-TV.
Prosecutors said in court that the family found disturbing images on their nest camera.
The YMCA of Greater Charlotte said in a statement that Donato is no longer an employee and is banned from its properties and events.
Officials also said they are not aware of any incidents occurring at The Y involving Donato and there is no reason to believe any child in their care was involved in any incident.
The statement also suggests campers were assigned to a cabin with him this summer.
We’re asking for further details of when and where he worked for The Y.
