A Maryland man has been charged with the sexual abuse of two children at a day care center.

The mother of a 3-year-old girl noticed an inflammation while giving the girl a bath, NBCWashington.com's Pat Collins reported. The girl's 7-year-old sister said she believed it happened at the day care because the same thing had happened to her when she went to the day care, which is located in the basement of a residence in Montgomery Village, Md.

After an investigation, Montgomery County Police arrested 66-year-old Javier Zaraysi, the husband of the day care provider, on March 14. Zaraysi was charged with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor, two counts of committing a second-degree sex offense, and two counts of committing a third-degree sex offense. He is being held on $500,000 bond.

Detectives say Zaraysi allegedly assulted the girls during naptime when his wife would go upstairs to let the children rest.

On the door of the daycare Thursday evening, a sign reading "He is innocent" was posted, Collins reported.

Authorities are still determining whether or not other children who attended the day care were also sexually abused.

One of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted fugitives -- Eric Justin Toth, a former D.C. teacher accused of producing and possessing child pornography -- was detained by police in Nicaragua, sources said.

Toth was found over the weekend. He had rented a room in a small town near Managua, was using an assumed name and had a fake passport.

Nicaraguan National Police Chief Aminta Granera said he would be deported immediately because he was in the country illegally, the Associated Press reported.

Toth taught third grade at Beauvoir Elementary School on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral.

On June 12, 2008, Beauvoir sent a letter to parents saying that a teacher was found in possession of a school-owned camera with inappropriate pictures of a boy. Sources said that pictures of at least three other boys being touched in inappropriate ways were on a thumb drive.

At least one of the boys photographed is believed to be a Beauvoir student. According to police, Toth secretly recorded video of a young boy in a school bathroom.

Toth was terminated and escorted off campus and has not been seen in the D.C. area since that day. When he went on the run, he changed his name and his look, authorities said.

Beauvoir released the following statement:

"We were informed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office (Department of Justice) that former teacher Eric Toth has been arrested.

We commend the work of the Office of the U.S. Attorney and the FBI for their ongoing efforts to apprehend Mr. Toth. They have been tenacious and resolute in their quest to bring this case to justice."

FBI agents tracked Toth to his parents’ home in Madison, Wis. Then in August 2008, his car was found in a parking garage at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

A note in the car indicated that Toth was contemplating suicide and that his body would be found in a nearby lake, sources said. But investigators believed that was a ruse, police said, and no body was found.

Toth was indicted on child pornography charges in December 2008.

In June 2009, agents received a tip Toth was living and working at a homeless shelter in Phoenix. But when they got there, he was gone.

He is also believed to have traveled to Virginia, Illinois and Indiana.

Toth first entered Nicaragua on Oct. 24 and left Jan. 27, Granera said. He returned on Feb. 12 and that's when Nicaraguan police began keeping a close watch, the AP reported.

Granera said he resisted arrest.

Toth has been described as a computer “expert” and is believed to have an above-average understanding of the Internet and Internet security. According to the FBI, he has the ability to blend in to various socio-economic classes.

Toth worked at Beauvoir for three years. He was known to tutor and babysit Beauvoir students, sources said. He also allegedly spent nights in the homes of young boys.

During their search, the FBI warned Toth could try to get a job as a tutor both for money and for new victims.

The FBI said it put Toth on the Ten Most Wanted list in April 2012 because there were no reliable clues as to his whereabouts and because his Internet skills and alleged penchant for grooming children made him especially dangerous.

Toth is originally from Hammond, Ind., and is a graduate of Purdue University.

A Virginia judge convicted a high school student accused in a sex-tape scandal on Thursday.

The teen was accused of recording girls while he and his friends had sex with them.

Two other boys already pleaded guilty to unlawful filming, but attorneys for the third boy fought the charges.

He and his two best friends allegedly recorded several sex tapes with girls their age. The defense argued the case is about expectations of privacy, claiming the girls caught on camera knew there was a chance they could be recorded.

One of the explicit videos was recorded in an elementary school parking lot, and the 17-year-old girl involved took the stand. She was asked if she knew a camera was present. She broke down crying as she explained that she made it clear she did not want to be recorded.

Another girl testified that in a separate incident she chased a boy with an iPhone into a bathroom, and the boy tried to convince her he hadn’t been recording.

The two teens who pleaded guilty also took the stand against their friend, who is a student at West Springfield High School in Springfield, Va.

The Fairfax County judge convicted the boy of two felony counts of unlawful filming, but acquitted him of distribution of child pornography and another charge.

More than four years after a Prince George's County teen died after getting hit on her walk to school, her family was awarded tens of millions of dollars in a wrongful death suit, but the legal battle could be far from over.

The morning of Sept. 1, 2009, a Lincoln Continental hit 13-year-old Ashley Davis as she crossed Brinkley Road to get to her school bus stop. Some of her classmates watched in horror.

The car then struck a minivan and a 17-year-old boy.

“She was on her way,” her mother, Nycole Davis, said. “She was doing the right thing. She was going to school. She was a good girl. She didn’t deserve this.”

Ashley, a Crossland High School freshman, suffered catastrophic injuries and died two weeks later. Her parents sued the Prince George’s County School Board.

“The school board was negligent,” said John Costello, the lawyer for the family. “They had adopted a policy to provide for safe transportation. The policy was they were going to pick up Ashley on her own side of the street. They never did. They forced her to cross the street. She got killed crossing the street.”

“If she didn’t have to cross the street …  she’d be graduating this year,” her mother said. “She’d be going to prom this year.”

At the end of the civil trial, a Prince George’s County jury awarded Ashley’s family a verdict of $90 million in damages plus medical expenses and funeral costs.

“I didn’t ask anyone to give me any money or anything like that,” her mother said. “I just want someone held responsible for what happened to my daughter.”

Prince George's County Public Schools emailed a statement to News4 saying, “No judgment has been entered in this case. It is still under litigation.”

Some cap a verdict or limit it in the neighborhood of $100,000 when there is a lawsuit against a municipality or school system, so this case could be far from over.

Jorif allegedly pulled out the knife from his waistband and used it to bang on a door before tossing it into the patient's room, according to police.

Investigators said he'd gone to the hospital to tell the woman her baby's father couldn't visit because he'd just been arrested.

Jorif was being held without bond.

Dozens gathered Thursday night to remember Caleb Gordley, a Virginia teen who was shot by a homeowner after he mistakenly snuck into a neighbor's home early Sunday.

"Caleb had a lot of friends, a lot of people who loved him, even more than I ever knew," Caleb's father, Shawn Gordley, told News4's Shomari Stone.

Gordley, of Loudoun County, was shot after he snuck into the home through a window, setting off the home's alarm.

Earlier Thursday, authorities had said the homeowner had called 911, warned Gordley verbally and fired a warning shot before firing the shots that struck and killed the teen.

Authorities have said they believe Gordley had mistaken the house for his own and was trying to sneak back in after a night of partying. He died at the scene.

The teen - who was a three-sport athlete at Park View High School, Sterling, Virginia, and aspired to be a rapper - was remembered as a good friend and son.

"He was very respectful," Shawn Gordley said. "He respected life, respected everybody he ever met."

The sheriff's office said Thursday that Gordley - who lived two houses away - had been drinking and entered the his neighbor's house about 2:30 a.m. through a rear, unlocked window. The sheriff's office said Gordley did not enter the home with any criminal intent.

The sheriff's department said the gun that the homeowner used, a .40-caliber pistol, appears to be legally owned.

According to the sheriff's department, the homeowner had come to investigate the alarm when he encountered someone on the stairs leading to the second floor.

The homeowner "gave verbal warnings and discharged the firearm as a warning," according to a statement issued by the sheriff's department Thursday afternoon.

But the teen continued up the stairwell and into a hallway. The homeowner shot at the teen, and struck him once in the left shoulder as he passed the homeowner in the hallway and walked toward an upstairs bedroom that was occupied by other residents of the home. They will not close their investigation until the final medical examiner's report is complete.

The sheriff's office say they are conducting a separate investigation on how Gordley obtained alcohol.

Gordley's parents have said they do not blame the homeowner.

"I want you to know, sir, I forgive you," said Jennea Gordley, Caleb's mother, on Tuesday. "I understand this was an accident. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. My son, he's an angel.”

A massive water main break has forced the closure of Connecticut Avenue in Washington, D.C., and imposed mandatory water restrictions on Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission customers in two counties.

The break is expected to affect the morning commute, as a hoped-for 6 a.m. reopening of Connecticut Avenue was called off around 5:20 a.m.

Drivers are not able to get between D.C. and the Beltway using Connecticut Avenue, which is closed in both directions between Manor Road and Dunlap Street. That closure will continue indefinitely, WSSC said.

The main broke around 8 p.m. Monday at Chevy Chase Lake Drive, where water gushed several stories high from the 54-inch water main.

The break caused a power line to fall, but no customers have lost power. Natural gas and electric lines run along the water main, so crews from Washington Gas and PEPCO had to secure those lines before work on the water main could begin, said WSSC.

Crews had a scare shortly before 5:20 a.m. when a tree came down at the scene due to the saturated ground.

The tree brought down some additional power lines, which dashed hopes for a 6 a.m. road opening. Pepco is headed to the scene.

Another tree is also threatening to topple, said WSSC.

Water restrictions in Maryland
While there are no water reported water outages, all WSSC customers in Prince George's and Montgomery counties are required to restrict usage until repairs are complete.

WSSC says all residential and commercial customers must:

Use water only as necessary -- i.e., take shorter showers and turn off faucets after washing hands and while brushing teeth.

Limit flushing toilets (do not flush after every use).

Put off washing clothes if possible.

Limit the use of dishwashers and wash only full loads.

The restrictions could last up to a week, WSSC said. A violation carries a fine of up to $500 fine.

WSSC said in a release it has been working with fire departments from both counties to ensure adequate fire protection.

"Please don't hoard water. We're not running out," said General Manager Jerry N. Johnson. "But if everyone can cut their water use by 10 percent, we should be OK. We appreciate everyone's understanding and cooperation."

Officials said the pipes are old -- circa 1980 -- but did not give a cause for the break.

There is no timeline for repairs, WSSC said.

A teenager getting a driving lesson from a parent struck three girls who were playing in a driveway in Ashburn, Va., Thursday afternoon, said the Virginia's Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

The 15-year-old driver apparently accelerated by accident while turning in a cul-de-sac and jumped a curb on Morven Woods Court before striking the children, authorities said.

The youngest victim, 7, was flown to Inova Fairfax Hospital with life-threatening injuries. She is now in stable condition.

An 8-year-old and a 10-year-old were taken to another local hospital with less severe injuries.

"It's a pretty safe neighborhood," said neighbor Mehboob Raha. "It's a dead end. You cannot go outside from this particular area... People are very sensible here."

The teen driver's father was in the passenger seat at the time of the crash.

In Virginia, teenagers can apply for a learner's permit at age 15½. The minimum age to get a driver's license is 16 years and three months.

Eleven people were injured in a drive-by shooting in northwest Washington, D.C., early Monday.

Authorities say people in two cars opened fire on a crowd in the 1200 block of N. Capitol Street around 2:10 a.m.

The crowd had gathered outside an apartment complex around the time that the club scene in the area was winding down for the night.

One victim was a teenager; the rest are adults. All are expected to survive.

"We have mostly gunshot wounds to the legs, extremities, hands, some graze wounds... Eleven people have been transported to a hospital for some sort of treatment," Lanier said.

The most serious injury was in a man who was shot in the back, reported News4’s Megan McGrath.

It's also possible some victims were injured by flying glass from a shattered bus shelter.

Police spent the morning collecting evidence at a crime scene that stretches nearly a block. A section of N. Capitol Street was cordoned off from M Street to New York Avenue.

Investigators had to wait until the sun rose to finish laying down evidence markers, placing at least 46 to record where bullets and fragments landed.

Lanier said some people were stopped near the scene and are being questioned by officers. They are still looking for two vehicles: a dark, older BMW and a silver sedan.

Police have released a video of the shooting:

The man known as the East Coast Rapist has been sentenced to three terms of life in prison plus 80 years.

Aaron Thomas, of New Haven, Conn., pleaded guilty in November to two counts of rape and three counts of abduction for a Halloween 2009 attack on three teenage trick-or-treaters in Prince William County, Virginia.

Thomas forced the trick-or-treaters -- two of whom are now in college -- into the woods and raped two of them over the course of about an hour.

He had a cigarette lighter that was a replica of a gun, Prince William County Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Ebert told News4 in Washington D.C.

One of the victims was able to text her mother, who called police. Thomas fled when he heard sirens, Ebert said.

At sentencing Friday, Thomas gave a statement referring himself as "totally blameworthy." He said he knew what he did to the women, News4's Erika Gonzalez reported.

Two victims forgive him
Two of his victims testified that they forgave Thomas and prayed he would be cured of his sickness, Gonzalez reported.

But the mother of another victim said her daughter hasn't been the same since the attack.

Thomas also pleaded guilty in November to rape and abduction charges in Loudoun County for a rape in 2001 at a Leesburg apartment complex. He faces multiple life sentences that case as well.

Thomas's behavior and mental status was an issue in court, if not an issue raised formally in the trial.

Ebert called Thomas's behavior "erratic from the start." In custody, Thomas has repeatedly cut his wrists and smeared his blood on the walls of his cell. He has claimed he had an alternate personality -- Erwin.

However, the prosecution's mental health expert had found Thomas was either "feigning or greatly exaggerating" symptoms. His attorneys had notified the court that sanity would not be raised as an issue.

Thomas has been tied to 17 attacks over longer than a decade from the D.C. area to Connecticut, including attacks in Fairfax and Prince George's counties.

The tip that led to his arrest came from Prince George's County.

In a story published in The Washington Post, Thomas acknowledged that he was the East Coast Rapist, saying, "I don't think I'm crazy but something is wrong with me."
