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.

鈥淭here is a very real possibility that there are additional victims out there that we just have not been able to identify yet,鈥 said Detective Patrick Michaud with the Seattle Police Department.

Authorities said he advertised as a childcare provider for families in Magnolia and Wallingford.

Between 2018 and 2020, Brugnoli-Baskin worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor at public pools in Magnolia and Queen Anne, and taught skiing at Snoqualmie Pass, SPD said. Officials want to hear from anyone whose children may have come in contact with him during this time.
