An employee at a Pleasure Ridge Park church daycare center allegedly sexually abused at least seven 4-year-old boys, police said Sunday.

The pastor at Highland Park Christian Church told congregants Sunday that 46-year-old Brian Redmon had confessed to the crimes. Redmon, a man with no prior record, now faces 17 charges of first-degree sodomy and 14 counts of first-degree sexual abuse. Police believe there may be other victims.

"Redmon talked with us openly about his involvement in fondling children and also performing oral sex on some of them," said Detective Rhonda Speaker of the Crimes Against Children Unit.

Redmon worked at Highland Park Christian Church from December 2003 until October 2004. From October until November 2004, he worked at Southside Christian Childcare.

"There are really no words to express how much we hurt for the families involved," said Pastor Clint Palmer.
