SAN DIEGO — A Mission Valley man abused and molested children that his wife brought to him at their daycare center, a prosecutor said Tuesday, but attorneys for the defendants said there wasn’t enough evidence to back up that claim. Mark Kaczmarczyk, 59, and his 45-year-old wife Anita are charged with one felony count each of child abuse likely to produce great bodily harm and committing a lewd act on a child, and a misdemeanor count of child abuse.
