OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say a 24-year-old day care worker has told investigators that he sexually assaulted as many as eight girls under the age of 3.

Mark Mays, of Omaha, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of eight counts of child sexual assault. He was charged Friday with one count of first-degree sexual assault of a child.

Police say detectives with the Omaha Police special victims unit were called to investigate after other day care workers reported finding Mays with a 2-year-old girl, who was naked.

Police say Mays told investigators he had sexual contact with eight girls ranging in age from younger than 2 to 3 years old. Mays is being held in the Douglas County jail on $2 million bail and could not be reached for comment.
