Samuel Kelly III was taken into custody Thursday morning.

Investigators said a mother contacted them after her 5-year-old daughter said Kelly had touched her inappropriately during summer school last year.

She said Kelly worked at the Horizons Christian Academy in Chester where her daughter attended.

Channel 9 called the day care to find out if they are aware of the accusations and if Kelly is still employed there.

We are waiting for a response.
