MANDAN, ND — A Mandan daycare owner is facing felony charges after police say a child reported being touched inappropriately at a home-based daycare he ran. Detectives arrested Cameron Scott following a police investigation into reports of sexual abuse.
The case stems from a forensic interview police conducted Tuesday with the child. Scott is now charged with gross sexual imposition, and his trial is set for February 2027.
How the case developed
According to police, the investigation began after reports surfaced involving the daycare operation. Detectives then took the child through a forensic interview to gather more information about what was alleged.
Police said the child described being touched inappropriately by Scott. The arrest followed that interview and the broader investigation into the home-based facility.
Charges now pending
Scott is facing a felony gross sexual imposition charge. The charge reflects the allegation that prompted the arrest, and the case is now moving toward court.
No additional details were included in the report about the size of the daycare, whether any other children were involved, or any court rulings beyond the scheduled trial date.
What the timeline shows
The report says the forensic interview took place Tuesday, and the story was published Wednesday morning. Police arrested Scott after the interview, and the trial date was set for February 2027.
The available information is limited to the arrest, the criminal charge, and the scheduled court date. The report did not include a response from Scott or his legal representation.
