A 19-year-old woman is accused of using a lighter, hammer, torch, cords, hangers, computer, blades, knives and a hair straightener to abuse several children over a period of two years in Delaware County.
Much of the sexual abuse is alleged to have occurred late at night when other adults were asleep, investigators said. Chester police first learned of the alleged abuse in early January. At that point the children were examined by a doctor and a forensic interview was carried out by the Children’s Advocacy Center in Media, the DA's office said.
The majority of the assaults occurred to the two oldest children, authorities said. However, the younger victims witnessed the abuse."These children will bear the physical and emotional scars of the defendant’s conduct for the rest of their lives," Stollsteimer said."Sadly, we can’t undo this tragedy, but rest assured that we will do everything in our power to support these victims and to hold the defendant accountable." Muñoz was taken into custody in New Jersey and expected to be extradited to Pennsylvania on Wednesday, the DA's office said. Online court records don't list an attorney who could comment on Muñoz's behalf. Resources for victims of sexual assault are available through the National Sexual Violence Resources Center and the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline at
