Jacop Robert Lee Hazlett, 28, was charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
Surveillance video caught a South Carolina church volunteer performing a sex act on a 3-year-old child on Sunday, authorities said.
Jacop Robert Lee Hazlett, 28, a volunteer at NewSpring Church in North Charleston, was charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, South Carolina's WCSC-TV reported. A judge denied bond.
Hazlett was supervising a group of children, ages 3 to 5, in "the Tree House" room, The Post and Courier of Charleston reported.
The volunteer escorted the boy to a restroom in the church and performed oral sex on him before pulling up the 3-year-old's pants, the station reported, citing the affidavit. The act was caught on a camera positioned outside the bathroom, an investigator said.
Suzanne Swift, a church spokeswoman, told the station that there were no cameras inside the bathrooms at the church. The door reportedly could have been open.
A statement from the church said it was made aware of the concern and possibility of Hazlett's "inappropriate interaction with children," according to the station.
A letter was sent to parents of preschool children who attend the North Charleston campus, The Post and Courier reported.
“NewSpring is steadfastly committed to safety and security, and because of this commitment, we have an extensive screening process for all adults before they are allowed to volunteer with children, birth through 12th grade,” the letter said.
Hazlett faces a minimum of 25 years in prison and a maximum of a life sentence if convicted, the paper reported. No probation or parole may be granted for the offense, the report said.
