Holycross was previously employed in positions in which he had authority over minors, the sheriff’s office said.
A LinkedIn account that appears to belong to Holycross states that, most recently, he worked as a Mental Health Technician at Dayton Children’s.
News Center 7 reached out to Dayton Children’s, which responded:
“Kenneth Holycross III is no longer employed at Dayton Children’s. We are working closely with investigators and are not aware of any incident that occurred at Dayton Children’s.”
Detectives believe there may be other victims and are asking for anyone with information to call police at 937-440-3986 or email tcooper@miamicountyohio.gov.

Holycross is set to be sentenced on Nov. 12.
