Montgomery County official and day care owner now facing child sex abuse charges

A Montgomery County official, who also owns two day care facilities, is facing child sexual abuse-related charges in Pennsylvania after already facing charges of soliciting child pornography out of Maryland, court documents reveal.

Nick Fountain, vice-chair of the Skippack Township Board of Supervisors, had been arrested last month on charges of sexual solicitation and solicitation of child pornography.

Then on Sunday, October 5, 2025, while already in police custody, Fountain was charged with sexual abuse of a child in Pennsylvania.

A police criminal complaint stated that the victim, reported that Fountain, who was an adult, sexually assaulted them of the course of years when they were between the ages of nine and 16-year-olds old.

In an interview with detectives, the criminal complaint said that Fountain admitted to touching the victim, performing oral sex on the victim and having the victim perform oral sex on him. Fountain also admitted this happened on multiple occasions and that the last time it happened was just before the victim turned 16.

Resources for victims of sexual assault are available through the National Sexual Violence Resources Center and the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline at 800-656-4673.

After a town official in Skippack Township was arrested on child pornography charges, NBC10’s Deanna Durante obtained the court documents and has been asking questions about Nick Fountain. 

For 12 years, Fountain has been the vice-chair of Skippack Township’s Board of Supervisors.

He also runs a pair of daycare facilities in the area – The Magnolia Enrichment Center in Collegeville and Magnolia Children’s Academy in Gilbertsville.

A note that was sent to parents and guardians read in part that Nick Fountain would no longer be affiliated with any Magnolia centers.

NBC10 reached out to the daycares, they provided no comment.

Additionally, a review of Fountain’s LinkedIn profile showed that he had been a kindergarten teacher at the Skippack Goddard School.

Fountain is expected to be in court next week.
