Surveillance footage from Michigan shows a home inspector sexually pleasuring himself on a “Tickle Me Elmo” doll in a 2-year-old boy’s room. As previously reported, the child’s mother happened to check out the at-home surveillance camera in order to review the status of the inspection, only to find that the defendant, Kevin Wayne VanLuven, had betrayed her trust.
“What if he had an STD and our son played with that or anything?” she told Detroit NBC affiliate WDIV in 2021. “What if we didn’t know? We have a toddler and a newborn baby too. There’s nothing more worse than when somebody comes to your home and you trust them to do a job and they go as hard as to do something like that in your child’s bedroom.”
