Numerous sex abuse and child pornography charges have been filed against a woman who worked at a daycare center in Salisbury.
Court documents show that 18-year-old Roseberline Turenne worked at Stepping Stones Early Learning Center. According to court records, an employee noticed Turenne looking at photos of young girls' private parts on her phone. The daycare immediately called authorities to report the incident.
Investigators questioned Turenne, who they say eventually admitted to taking the photos on the daycare's diaper changing table.
Court documents show the young girls appeared to range in age from birth to 4 years of age. No faces were shown in the photos.
The manager of Stepping Stones, Barbara Brittingham, told WBOC that this is not an incident the daycare is hiding. She said the business wants to make sure the investigation is done correctly and that Turenne is charged to the fullest extent of the law.
According to to Brittingham, Turenne worked at the daycare for at least two years.

Turenne allegedly told police that the photos were sent to her on the WhatsApp phone app and denied any allegations of taking the photos.
After officials observed a red mat on one changing table that matched the color of one of the changing mats in the photograph, Turenne then reportedly admitted to taking the photos at the daycare and that the children in the photos attended the facility. She did not provide a reason for taking the photos.
It was also noted in the court documents that the pictures in question on Turenne’s phone did not display the children’s faces and were focused on the vaginal area in each photograph. Each photo observed contained only one child and the children were not wearing any clothes.
Turenne’s phone was seized on scene and will be forensically examined. She is currently being held without bond on a total of 18 charges, including multiple counts each of possession of child pornography and sex abuse of a minor.
