Man working as children's respiratory therapist accused of molestation in Osceola County

A man who worked as a children's respiratory therapist was arrested, accused of molesting two children, including his own relative.

Aaron Meehan is expected to make his first appearance in court on Wednesday.

Video shows Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez escorting Meehan to a patrol cruiser after being arrested at Orlando International Airport. The sheriff says detectives caught him just as he got off a plane from Alaska with a different hairstyle and sunglasses, apparently trying to disguise himself.

Meehan is accused of molesting a child family member and another child from the Cocoa Beach area. Detectives are worried Meehan may have targeted other children as well.

"We encourage any victims here or anyone who's ever employed this guy to come forward and let us know if they've had any other type of complaints of a lewd and lascivious nature or any children experiencing any type of uncomfortable or inappropriate touching under his care."

Meehan is facing two counts of lewd and lascivious molestation. The sheriff says detectives are tracing Meehan's steps, working with authorities in Alaska to see where he went, or who he was in contact with.

They are also digging into who he worked with in Central Florida to find more potential victims.
