The child is alleged to have been abused from the age of 11 through to 15 while he was residing with Caron at her home in South Jersey. But this grew even more disturbing when in 2019, when the victim was 13 years old and he began living with a then-28-year-old Caron. It was during this time that the educator being pregnant with the teen’s child, authorities believe.
The case began to gain attention on social media when victims’ father took to Facebook in December 2024 to publicly allege that his son and Caron’s 5-year-old child bore an uncanny resemblance, according to investigators. Caron, originally from Warrington Township on the outskirts of Philadelphia, had been a college basketball star for the private Cabrini University, a once prominent Catholic insitution that closed its doors in 2024 when it was absorbed by Villanova. Her major was elementary education.
The victims’ family became friends with Caron and started allowing their children to stay with her every week, but this eventually progressed and their children began living permanently with the suspect from 2016 to 2020, authorities revealed in court documents seen by ABC Philadelphia.
