Round was arrested on Wednesday after an investigation led police to believe that he had sexually assaulted at least a boy and a girl, both 5-years-old, on multiple occasions, NBC 10 reports. On Thursday, Round appeared in court where he was arraigned and released after paying $20,000 of his $200,000 bond.

The investigation into the suspect reportedly began on July 25 after the Department of Human Services received reports of the assaults. On Wednesday night, parents learned of the allegations and went to the daycare. One father told NBC 10, “this is beyond repair … I don’t care what they do. I will never send my kids there.”
