Sounds like a real nice type to be working around young girls. He’s a real “Fluffer”!

A 70-year-old day-care provider known as “Uncle Jack” is accused of sexually abusing three girls ages 4 to 9 both inside an at-home Fairhaven facility and while driving the girls home, police said.”

Fairhaven police yesterday arrested Jack Sylvia, 70, of Fall River, and he was arraigned on five counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. Sylvia was ordered held on $10,000 bail.

Bristol County District Attorney spokesman Gregg Miliote and police said much of the alleged abuse was inappropriate touching that happened in the back of the day-care facility’s van while Sylvia was driving the girls home.

“He called it fluffing in the police report,” said Miliote. “That’s a direct quote from the report. He would ‘fluff’ their rear ends and rub their legs.”

Police said the alleged abuse came to light last month when the mother of two of the children contacted the authorities with the girls’ disturbing stories. A third alleged victim surfaced not long after, police said.
Department of Social Services spokeswoman Denise Monteiro said Sylvia had passed a background check, which found no criminal record. She said the Day Time Friends Day Care is an at-home facility that under law can care for no more than six children.
