WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Court records in the case against a Kansas man charged with sexually two girls at a YMCA child care say video shows one of the children being struck twice in the face.

The Wichita Eagle reports that a police affidavit was released Wednesday in the case against 21-year-old Caleb Gaston. He’s charged with raping a 4-year-old girl and committing aggravated indecent liberties with a 3-year-old girl last month at the Downtown YMCA Kid Zone in Wichita.

The affidavit says video shows a staff member taking the 4-year-old to a bathroom after she was hit. The girl later told a social worker she had been assaulted while she was getting sick in the sink.
