Original:

Detectives are asking the public to come forward in the investigation of a Seattle babysitter charged with child sex abuse.

Prosecutors said 23-year-old Antonio Brugnoli-Baskin listed himself as a professional babysitter on聽 and used his job to sexually exploit children, with prosecutors initially believing the offenses they are charging Baskin with date back to February 2021.

Brugnoli-Baskin was arrested last week and faces felony charges for allegedly using online babysitting services to sexually abuse children.

Now, investigators think Brugnoli-Baskin may have abused more children than previously known.
