Lillian Ezell Del Mundo
The mother of a child whose babysitter exposed herself testified that finding the pictures on a cell phone turned her stomach and was the kind of thing found in nightmares.
According to court documents, Lillian Elizabeth Ezell, 26, exposed her breast to a child under 14 years old. Ezell also goes by Del Mundo, according to jail records.
She also gave him a cell phone to hide from his parents, so that they could communicate.
Chelsea Mazza said 19 facetime calls were discovered on the phone with the victim after 10 p.m. and text conversations discussing how the child is cute and handsome, describing the child sitting on her lap and cuddling, and stating that the child is the love of her life and that they make the cutest couple.
The survivor described the trauma he has endured over the last few years.
“With the best of my ability I tried to move on, but I couldn’t,” he said. “I lost sleep, I lost weight, and I lost my confidence. You took that from me.”
According to statements made in court, Ezell was babysitting the boy and his brother and was also working at a dance studio they attended.
“She was an adult who was entrusted with watching this child,” said Mazza.
The incidents occurred between August 2017 and August 2018 and was investigated by the Nevada Department of Public Safety, according to court documents. State detectives filed their report on Oct. 31, 2023.
A warrant was issued for Ezell’s arrest on May 14, 2024, and she waived a preliminary in the case on Jan. 31, prior to entering a guilty plea in Douglas County District Court on March 10.
Ezell was sentenced to 72-108 months in prison and lifetime of supervision. She was given credit for five days.
• A 62-year-old man is facing revocation of his probation and 2-5 years in prison a year after he was sentenced for burglary of a business.
Richard Glenn Gardner is in custody in the Douglas County Jail. Gardner said he had a heart attack a few months after his May 14, 2024, sentencing..
A representative for Parole and Probation told District Judge Tod Young that they hadn’t heard from Gardner for more than five months.
Gardner was arrested in Reno on a warrant issued as a result of the report and has been in Douglas since May 7.
Last year, Gardner claimed his son’s death was the reason he’d shoplifted around $700 in items from Target. In response, Young ordered him to write a note every day telling his son what he did to make him proud. Gardner swore to the judge that’s what he’d done.
The judge gave him two weeks to work out a treatment plan and have someone fetch the notes and bring them to court.
