Who is Karla Ramirez? Idaho Pastor's Daughter who Sexually Abused Kids in Family's Daycare on the Run

Karla Ramirez allegedly sexually touched children left at the daycare home run by her family and clicked explicit photographs of them.

A Caldwell woman is absconding following her bail after her arrest on child sex abuse charges. Karla Ramirez, 21, was arrested on five felony counts of lewd conduct and six felony counts of sexual exploitation of a child. Investigators noted that Ramirez sexually touched children left at the daycare home run by her family and clicked explicit photographs of them.

Following an investigation into the incident by the Meridian police, Ramirez was arrested and booked into the Ada County Jail. She was released after posting a $750,000 bond in March.

The hearing was postponed several times but finally, Ramirez was set to appear in court for a plea change on January 3, 2022. She, however, never showed up. According to the Ada County Prosecutor's Office, Ramirez disabled her ankle monitor before absconding.
