An 18-year-old tutor has been accused of sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl at a Long Island library, according to local authorities. The incidents reportedly took place at the Port Washington Public Library.
Taylor Lindberg faces serious charges, including three counts of first-degree sexual abuse and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, as stated by the Nassau County Police Department. These charges stem from alleged events in May.
Court documents obtained by WABC reveal that Lindberg allegedly abused the young girl during a tutoring session on May 11. The documents further claim that, a week later, he lured the child to the library’s basement under the guise of sharing a secret, where he allegedly abused her again and took inappropriate photos with his phone.
Lindberg appeared in court on Wednesday, where his bail was set at $50,000 cash or a $100,000 bond. Reports indicate that he has since secured his release by posting bail.
