Day care worker cleared of misconduct allegations

PETERBOROUGH – A male employee of a Peterborough day care center has been cleared of allegations of sexual misconduct involving a 5-year-old boy, according to Hillsborough County Attorney Robert Walsh.
"After a complete forensic investigation, it was found there was no credible evidence to proceed," Walsh said.
Last month, a complaint was filed with police about inappropriate conduct by a Pine Hill Day Care Center employee with a 5-year-old child.
Walsh said a team of senior county prosecutors and victim/witness advocates, along with Peterborough Police Chief Scott Guinard and the state Bureau of Child Care Licensing, worked on the investigation.
Parents met with members of the county attorneys' office at a meeting last month at the time the complaint was made about the day care center, which is located on the campus of ConVal High School.
The staff member, a graduate student intern in the program, was placed on paid leave at the time of the complaint.
