North County babysitter who provided boyfriend with children to molest gets 100 years to life

The girls were between ages of 3 and 7. Two of them were special needs.

A North County babysitter who admitted taking young girls in her care — including a non-verbal special-needs child — to her boyfriend so he could molest them was sentenced Thursday to 100 years to life in prison.

Brittney Mae Lyon, 31, pleaded guilty in May in Vista Superior Court to two counts of lewd act upon a child and two counts of a forcible lewd act upon a child, and admitted additional allegations of kidnapping, residential burglary and sexually assaulting multiple victims.

Lyon and then-boyfriend Samuel Cabrera were arrested in 2016, shortly after one of the 7-year-olds told her mother she no longer wanted to go anywhere with Lyon, a longtime family friend who also babysat the girl. The child then disclosed the abuse.

The ensuing investigation led Carlsbad police to Cabrera, then 22, and a search of his car turned up a double-locked box containing six computer hard drives with hundreds of videos of the molestations. Some encounters were caught on multiple cameras at varying angles, according to prosecutors, who also said that at times victims were drugged.
