Heartless: Virginia day care teacher Sarah Jordan, 31, has been found guilty of more than a dozen charges for running what a prosecutor described as a 'baby fight club'
A former day care teacher from Virginia has been found guilty of more than a dozen criminal charges for turning her classroom, dubbed 'the monkey room,' into what a prosecutor described as a 'baby fight club.'
A Prince William County judge Wednesday convicted Sarah Jordan, 31, on 13 felony and misdemeanor counts, including child cruelty, and assault and battery. She was acquitted on four counts.
More than 20 counts were dismissed by the judge during the trial, largely because prosecutors failed to prove that the alleged assaults had occurred within the statute of limitations
Jordan was the lead teacher in a Minnieland Academy classroom of 1-year-old children in Woodbridge .
In the course of a three-day bench trial this week, witnesses testified that Jordan intentionally tripped toddlers, stepped on their toes, encouraged them to fight each other and sprayed them in the face with a hose on full blast.
The teacher testified Wednesday in her own defense and denied the accusations. She said she occasionally used the hose to sprinkle kids with water but never tried to hurt them.
She suggested that the accusations stemmed from workplace disputes with her co-workers.
But prosecutor Ashleigh Landers said the three co-workers who testified that they witnessed Jordan abusing the toddlers in her class, dubbed 'the Monkey room,' had no bias against Jordan and one of them even considered her a friend.
Landers said in her closing argument that the atmosphere fostered by Jordan was 'almost creating like a baby fight club' and did immeasurable damage to the psyches of impressionable children.

The abuse involving 1-year-olds being sprayed with water, dunked in wading pools and fed hot Cheetos occurred in 2013 at Minnieland Academy in Woodbridge
Parents recounted in court how their kids suddenly became fearful of water and started acting out by stepping on their toes and hitting them.
One father, Adam Smith, testified that his daughter ‘completely stopped talking’ once she was in Jordan's class, reported NBC Washington.
‘She would stomp her mom's feet. She would run in and slap us for no apparent reason and start giggling,’ Smith said.

Another dad, Blake Buckner, told the station WUSA after the hearing Wednesday that Jordan designated her son as the class bully and made him fight other kids.
‘She knows what she did. Justice has prevailed,’ an emotional Mr Buckner said.
Family members of the victims patted each other on the back and wept in relief as the judge read the verdicts.
Jordan's bond was immediately revoked and she was remanded to jail pending her sentencing on May 6.
Another teacher at the day care, 26-year-old Kierra Spriggs, is facing similar charges and is set to go on trial next month.
Allegations of cruelty first came to light against Jordan and Spriggs in a September 2013 report by the Virginia Department of Social Service claiming that the two day care teachers were physically and emotionally abusing kids at Minnieland Academy for their amusement.
The report detailed how Jordan and Spriggs would encourage toddlers to fight and bite one another, how they would dunk kids fearful of water into wading pools and feed them Flamin' Hot Cheetos. According to the document and witness accounts, the abuse lasted for six months.
At least eight parents at the day care center have retained an attorney and are considering pursuing legal action against Minnieland Academy.
