FARGO (AP) - A jury began deliberating Thursday in the trial of a former Fargo YMCA day care instructor accused of molesting young girls.

Jatten Heinen is accused of molesting or trying to molest four girls either on a bus or at Fargo's YMCA West. Authorities say the girls were between the ages of 6 and 8 at the time.

Some girls have testified that Heinen inappropriately touched them.

Heinen took the stand during his trial and denied the allegations against him.

Two of Heinen's former co-workers and his former supervisor testified that they never saw him do anything inappropriate or had children tell them that Heinen had molested them.
