The child’s mother told police on Jan. 8, 2026, that she used sittercity.com to hire Bank as a nanny. Over the following years, police said Bank allegedly sexually assaulted the child.
Police executed a search warrant at Bank’s home on Aeroview Street in West Bloomfield Township on Jan. 15, and arrested him.
At Bank’s home, detectives found and collected several electronic devices, which police said contained a “multitude” of evidence of children, including what appeared to be Bank with some of those children in various compromised positions and acts.
