ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – A former daycare worker accused of molesting a child is requesting a judge to lower his bond.
Christopher Titus, 46, of St. Charles is accused of sexually abusing a child under the age of 12 while working at Here We Grow Early Care and Education in Webster Groves.
Records show the alleged abuse occurred between January 2023 and August 2024. Police say Titus admitted to the sex crimes during an interview.
He continued working at the daycare until at least October 2024, where he was still teaching young children.
Authorities confirm that the daycare has been fully cooperating with the investigation, and parents have been notified about the allegations. At this time, police say there is no evidence of additional victims, but they are encouraging anyone with concerns to come forward.
The St. Louis County Prosecutor’s Office says they are confident in securing a conviction and believe Titus should remain in jail.
A bond reduction hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday at the St. Louis County Circuit Court in Clayton.
