SPEECH THERAPIST CHARGED WITH 50 COUNTS OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

BSO Case Number: BS10-12-4847
PIO Number: 10-12-19
Date: 12/22/10
Time: 11 a.m. Jurisdiction: Pembroke Pines
Place of Occurrence: 8770 NW 7 Ct., Pembroke Pines

A Broward County speech pathologist isn’t saying much after Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives took him into custody for possession of child pornography.

Following over a dozen tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited children alerting of a computer user who was uploading and sharing pornographic images of children, BSO detectives with the South Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force conducted an investigation and obtained a warrant to search a home in the city of Pembroke Pines.

When detectives arrived at the home at 8770 NW 7 Ct. on Dec. 22, they came in contact with their target, 66-year-old Warren Day, who at the time was on his computer viewing a child pornography website.
A preliminary evaluation of Day’s computer revealed hundreds of pornographic images of children between 1 and 12 years of age engaging in sexual acts with adults, other children and in sexually explicit positions.

Day refused to answer questions without the presence of his lawyer, but stated “I am a piece of (vulgar term for excrement)” in the presence of BSO detectives.

Day was arrested and charged with 50 counts of child pornography. More charges could be filed pending a full forensic analysis of Day’s computer and two other media devices found inside his home. He was arrested in 1982 in Dade County for committing a sexual act against a child and served two years probation. Due to the date of his offense, he was not required to register as a sexual offender.

For the past seven months Day has worked as a speech pathologist at the Hollywood Rehab Center working with seniors, but throughout his 30 year career he has come in contact with children from kindergarten to high school. He was previously employed by the Dade County School System.

Detectives have identified at least one victim and fear there could be others. If you know anyone who’s been a victim of Warren Day you’re asked to contact BSO Detective Jennifer Montgomery at 954-888-5239 or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-TIPS (8477).

Boone therapist charged with doing drugs, having sex with minors in her care


CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A former Boone County therapist has been charged with providing drugs to teenage boys under her care and having sex with them.

Boone County sheriff's deputies arrested Tressie Hayes, 34, of Julian, on Saturday. She was a therapist at the Prestera Center in Danville. The center provides mental health services.

According to a criminal complaint filed May 3, Deputy B.G. Browning interviewed a 17-year-old boy, identified as "C.M" in the complaint, in late December 2010 after the boy was assaulted by Russell Gillenwater, Hayes' ex-husband.

The complaint does not say whether Gillenwater has been charged with assault, and the Daily Mail was not able to determine that through Boone Magistrate Court on Monday.

C.M. told Browning that Hayes threatened him, "saying that if he ever told anyone what she was doing, she would have Mr. Gillenwater to kill him," the complaint reads.

The boy said he and Hayes went on "drug runs" together and smoked marijuana, snorted pain pills and had sex at her home, according to the complaint. Hayes supplied the drugs, the complaint reports.

C.M. also said he had a sexual relationship with Hayes' 13-year-old daughter and said Hayes was aware of the relationship, according to the complaint. He told Browning that Hayes also was aware of her daughter's sexual relationship with her current 19-year-old boyfriend, the complaint says.

Another of Hayes' alleged victims, a 15-year-old identified as "A.B.," told Browning and another officer that he also made drug runs, smoked marijuana and took pain pills with Hayes, who supplied the drugs on all but one occasion, according to the complaint.

Hayes once crushed a pill on her desk at the Prestera Center for her and A.B. to snort, the complaint said.

A.B. also witnessed Hayes' daughter and preteen son smoking marijuana and witnessed sex between C.M. and Hayes as well as between Hayes' daughter and boyfriend, the complaint says.

"He said they even had a discussion about it, and (Hayes) was laughing about it," Browning wrote in the complaint.

Browning went to Hayes' home to discuss the allegations, but she refused to talk to the deputy before consulting with her attorney, Wendle Cook, the complaint said.

When Browning tried to make an appointment to talk with Cook and Hayes together, Cook said Hayes had not hired him, the complaint says.

If this had been committed by a man He would have been charged with Rape. I think this should be considered a rape case given the fact that Mind-Altering drugs were used to perhaps ease the anxiety associated with the crimes being committed??

If by chance would anyone consider this is not exactly clear cut? I personally know a lot of parents and find it hard to even think that they would not have checked up on this woman, most probably referred and recommended therapist, Did the child or children have any noticeable issues prior to this? I hope for someone to use some commonsense. I'm not perfect nor will I ever be. It's just 2 easy to attack, personally I don't believe everything someone says; who or whomever they are.

mskamish: She is charged with sexual abuse by a parent, guardian, custodian or person in position of trust to a child. There is no RAPE statute. Same thing - she has been charged with a sex crime

How else was she going to weaken their resolve? Another great story of custodial abuse in the Appalachians.
