ORMOND BEACH, Fla. – A corrections officer was arrested Tuesday on allegations of showing a young girl pornography and molesting her at a Volusia County day care that his wife operated.

Bugno and his wife, who ran Bugno Daycare, have since divorced and the facility, which was located south of State Road 40 and west of Ormond Beach city limits, is no longer in business.
Investigators said they were alerted to the case in April 2015 after a girl shared the allegations with her mother. The girl, now 9 years old, said that Bugno touched her private parts and showed her pornographic videos when she was in day care between 2008 and 2010, according to authorities.
The girl would have been between the ages of 1 and 4 at the time, deputies said.
During an interview with the victim’s mother, she told investigators she thought she could trust Bugno because of his job, officials said.
Investigators are asking anyone who believes they have information about this case or any other victims at Bugno Daycare to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 386-254-1537 or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida at 888-277-TIPS.
