Twice-deported Turkish illegal immigrant charged with sexual assault of 6-year-old girl at Sacramento daycare

Gokhan Bagci, of Turkey, has been charged with sexually assaulting the young child after the incident allegedly took place in July 2025, when Bagci was working at the daycare in question, the Mather Childcare Center. The victim's mother reported that the illegal immigrant lured the young girl into a closet, supposedly to play hide-and-seek, but sexually assaulted the young girl instead.

He allegedly brought her into the bathroom and raped her on the same day, a lawsuit from the mother said. “The conduct of Bagci in sexually molesting and raping a six-year-old child entrusted to his care was extreme and outrageous, exceeding all bounds of decency tolerated in a civilized community,” the mother’s attorneys said in a lawsuit, per the Sacramento Bee. The lawsuit, brought in July 2025, led to Bagci's August arrest on suspicion of four felony charges of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age.

The suit alleged that the child was bruised and suffered “severe pain, fear, and emotional trauma” from the attack. The child told her mother the next day that “she did not want to go to school the next day and asked her mother to make sure Bagci did not hurt her again.”

Bagci has been removed from the US twice by Customs and Border Protection officials, once in November 2023 and again in September 2024, around a year before he was arrested.

The suit said that if the daycare had done a proper background check on Bagci, then “the abuse could and would have been prevented.”

“This criminal illegal alien is accused of sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl at the daycare where he worked,” said Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “He now faces charges of lewd and lascivious acts with a child. We are calling on Governor Gavin Newsom and his fellow sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this sicko from jail and to cooperate with ICE law enforcement.”

Bagci remains in Sacramento County jail on $200,000 bail over the abuse allegations. He is set to go to a hearing on July 31 in the Sacramento Superior Court.
