A Nevada elementary school teacher has admitted to drugging and sexually assaulting dozens of children — including a 2-year-old neighbor, according to police.
Taji Hillson, 62, was arrested in Reno on July 2, a day after she penned an apology to a relative who accused her of sexually assaulting her “throughout her childhood and adulthood,” according to a police report obtained by the Reno Gazette Journal.
The now-adult accuser filed a police report in April — providing text messages of the elementary school teacher admitting to “drugging her and touching her inappropriately,” according to court documents.

When interviewed by police on June 25, Hillson allegedly admitted abusing the woman throughout her childhood, continuing when she returned home from college in 2014 — blaming it on how “she never felt seen and desired to be close to another person,” the court docs said.
Hillson admitted to inappropriately touching at least a dozen other children — including a 2-year-old neighbor at a local pool within the last few years, police said.
