Police said their investigation into possible sexual assault on a child revealed several victims at the KinderCare, 5472 S. Federal Circle, in Littleton. The investigation was instigated when a child told a parent about the assault.

Kerr has worked at that KinderCare since July 2010.

Kerr also worked as a substitute teacher in both the Jefferson County and Denver school districts.

Kerr was booked into the Arapahoe County Jail on a $50,000 bond.

Investigators urge parents to talk to their children immediately.

"He's been in contact with a lot of children. We really encourage people to see the photo and if your child was a student of his, to speak with your child very candidly and frankly," said Sean Dugan with Littleton Police.

Littleton police are requesting anyone with information regarding the sexual assault investigation to contact Detective Krista Bunten at (303) 795-3891.
