HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) - A prosecutor says a woman has been charged with sexually assaulting four children she baby-sat over several years in southwest Ohio.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters says 62-year-old Barbara Brooks was indicted today on 15 counts of rape and three counts of gross sexual imposition.

The woman from the Cincinnati suburb of Colerain Township is charged with sexually assaulting four children she baby-sat between 2000 and early 2007. The sexual assaults are alleged to have occurred in her homes in two other Cincinnati suburbs.

Brooks' attorney did not immediately return a call for comment Monday.

The prosecutor says two of the alleged victims told police in April 2011 that Brooks sexually abused them while they were in her care. A subsequent police investigation resulted in the indictment.
