YORK, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a woman who’d worked at a York facility for troubled children has given birth to a child fathered by a teenager being treated there.

Court records say 37-year-old Jamie Bishop, of Seward, is charged with sexual assault of a minor. Court documents say Bishop and the 15-year-old had sex several times in his room or on the grounds at Epworth Village from January to July last year. The child was born in December, and authorities say DNA tests prove the boy’s paternity.

Associated Press attempts to reach Bishop’s attorney Friday were unsuccessful. Bishop’s next court appearance is scheduled for May 11.

Epworth Village CEO Margaret Donovan says Bishop no longer works there.
