HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. — Tyrone Daley stands accused on Monday of sexually abusing his co-worker’s daughter for about three years in an employees’ breakroom at a supermarket in Broward County, records show.
The girl was diagnosed with “mild to moderate autism,” and the abuse “started when she was 10 years old, and she will be turning 13 this year,” a Hallandale Beach police officer wrote, according to a police report.
During the police investigation, a Broward Sheriff’s Office DNA analyst reported in April that DNA belonging to Daley, 56, was on “the exterior crotch area” of the girl’s pajama pants, according to a police report.
The investigation started after the girl told her mother that Daley had sexually molested her on Feb. 17, and Hallandale Beach police officers met them at the Publix Supermarket in Hallandale Beach, where Daley worked as a stock clerk in the freezer department for about four years, according to the police report.
“She only brings the victim to work with her when she does not have a babysitter to watch her ... the victim sits in the break room,” a police officer wrote, according to the arrest report.
A detective investigating the case on Feb. 23 found surveillance video showing Daley “looks around before entering the breakroom” shortly after 9:55 p.m. and walks out at 10 p.m. on Feb. 17, according to police.
The girl participated in a forensic interview at the Nancy J. Cotterman Center in Oakland Park, and she reported Daley had abused her about 30 times at the Publix at 1400 East Hallandale Beach, according to the police officer’s arrest report.
“She always tells him ‘No!’ But he continues to keep touching her against her will ... it hurt her ... she felt threatened,” a police officer wrote about the girl’s report during the interview, according to the report.
Broward County court records show prosecutors filed a first-degree felony case against Daley, of Miramar, on June 29. He faced four counts of lewd or lascivious molestation charges.
Police officers served the arrest warrant on Sunday, and BSO corrections booked Daley at the Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale. He appeared in court on Monday, and a judge denied him bond.
Broward County Circuit Judge Barbara Duffy is set to preside over the case.
A spokesperson for Publix released a statement on Monday afternoon reporting that Daley was no longer employed at Publix.
