Former Daycare Teacher Accused of Molesting 3-Year-Old Relative

In addition to being employed as a day care teacher, the suspect was also a teacher in several Orange County locations.

A former daycare teacher was arrested last week for allegedly engaging in lewd acts with a 3-year-old female family member in the La Mirada area, officials said.

The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department is searching for any other possible victims of 36-year-old Thomas Burke Pulver, who, in addition to being employed as a day care teacher, was also a teacher in several Orange County locations.

Pulver was charged with eight felony counts and faces up to 15 years in prison. He is being held in lieu of $2.4 million bail.

Anyone who has a child that has had contact with Pulver or has any information about Pulver should contact their local law enforcement agency. Tips can be anonymously reported by calling LA Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.
