An Ohio daycare worker who allegedly forced a one-year-old's eye shut with painters' tape and reportedly terrorised several other children will plead guilty to a reduced charge after testimony from staff and parents revealed the depth of the abuse, prosecutors announced this week.
Katelyn Strohacker faces 31 charges relating to the abuse of eight children, including five counts of kidnapping and 14 counts of endangering children. She had previously entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity and was deemed competent to stand trial in November 2025, according to a report by Law & Crime.
