John Burbine's wife told parents he was an experienced baby sitter.

She knew he was a pedophile, so if she recommended him for babysitting, then she is part of it and as evil as he is.

Leone said investigators believe Marian Burbine didn't know her husband was sexually abusing children, but she knew he was a convicted sex offender and that state officials believed child abuse allegations against him in 2005 and 2009 that never led to prosecution.

She is a liar, her statements conflict,,,, "Marian Burbine didn't know her husband was sexually abusing children." Yet she knew he was a convicted sex offender and also allowed him to work with children??

Leone said investigators began a probe after previous abuse complaints that didn't lead to criminal charges. This summer, authorities got a cease and desist order for Waterfall Education Center because it wasn't licensed. That led to search warrants for the Burbines' business and home that Leone said led investigators to seize video evidence of the child abuse.

Among the offenses John Burbine faces are 40 counts of aggravated forcible rape of a child. His attorney, William Barabino, said Thursday that the defendant will plead not guilty at his Dec. 12. arraignment. A judge previously ordered the defendant held without bail.

Leone said John Burbine is a Level 1 sex offender, following a 1989 conviction for indecent assault and battery.
