According to the Ocala Police Department, day care employee Karla Penalverty-Gonzalez, 33, was arrested on Monday, July 14, after an investigation into the alleged mistreatment of six infants at the All Stars Learning Academy.

Ocala police said these incidents spanned from March-July 2025, and the infants were between the ages of 4 months and 9 months old.

Several incidents of physical harm to the children were alleged, including forced feeding, violent shaking, rough handling and near-suffocation. A video recording provided to investigators by an employee depicted at least one event of child abuse.

Supervisors were told about these incidents, but the police department said no appropriate actions were taken to address the allegations in a timely manner.

Ocala police said Penalverty-Gonzalez actively resisted during her arrest but was taken into custody and transported to the Marion County Jail.

She was being held on $20,500 total bond for eight counts of child abuse without great bodily harm and one count of resisting an officer without violence. She has since bonded out.

State prosecutors on Thursday filed an announcement of “no information” in the case of Karla Loenie Gonzalez Penalverty, who was arrested in July to face eight counts of child abuse without great bodily harm and one count of resisting arrest without violence.

“From the beginning, our position has been that Ms. Gonzalez Penalverty was innocent of any criminal wrongdoing,” Penalverty’s attorney, Nick Congelossi, Esq., said in a statement. “We appreciate the State Attorney’s Office for its careful review of the facts and its decision to dismiss the case. This outcome fully exonerates my client.”
