CALDWELL, Idaho — A 20-year-old Caldwell woman now sits in the Ada County Jail and facing numerous sexual assault charges after law enforcement says she had inappropriate contact and took illicit photos of the children in her care.
Meridian Police announced on Friday night that police arrested Karla Ramirez, 20, of Caldwell after detectives began investigating reports of lewd conduct at a Meridian home.
