Help Lancaster detectives ID suspected child molestor

by The AV Times Staff • May 31, 2017

[Click image to enlarge.]
LANCASTER – Local authorities have released a composite drawing to help identify the man accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl at a Lancaster park in early April.

The incident occurred in the afternoon at a park on the 300th block of Pondera Street, according to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.

“This suspect approached a juvenile female, grabbed her and kissed her numerous times in the face, before the young girl’s mother was able to chase him off,” the news release states.

The suspect is described as Hispanic, about 30 years old, with dark hair, dark eyes and crooked teeth. He is about 6 feet tall, around 240 to 250 pounds, with heavyset thighs.

“While this has been an isolated incident, we ask our residents to take a look at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s composite sketch. If you recognize this man, see anyone who resembles him or have any information regarding this case, please contact Detective John Amis at 661-434-7552 or via email at JEAmis@lasd.org, referencing File #017-06685-1132-134,” the sheriff’s news release states.

    Why don’t they just go to the video recordings from LEAPS? We spend a million bucks a year on that plane. It’s time it produced some real results, aside from catching Walmart shoplifters.

      Is that about $100,000 a shoplifter to catch them?

    I believe this is connected to the young teenager attacked and almost kidnapped at Tierra Bonita Park which there also asking for help from the public to catch the perves..

    Does anyone think this may be connected to the persons with similar descriptions there looking for driving a black honda who attempted to kidnap a girl from Tierra Bonita park???

      Just some general observations…

      Considering the victims would suggest not. Pedophiles generally are very narrow in their ‘tastes’ and one being a young teen and the other being a nine year old would suggest two different criminals. Trying to force the girl into a car might not even be related to a violent pedophile. It seems probable, but there’s kidnapping for profit, domestic situations, who knows what else. Forced kisses in the park…there’s only one possible motivation there.

      The method also seems to be widely divergent. A grab and run, using a car, is really nothing like what happened here.

      So, I would be surprised if they are related. Not saying there’s no way, but it just seems not likely.

    Where is the 300th block of Pondera Street? Did they mean El Dorado Park at 5th E and Pondera Street?

    • Tim Scott says

      From 3rd St to 4th St would be “the 300 block.” El Dorado park does run most of the way to 3rd Street, behind the school. I guess you could say that that part of the park is “in the 300 block of Pondera St.” I would be more likely to say that El Dorado Park is on 5th Street, myself.

    I do not condone this type of behavior. He would literally get his behind b e a t if this was my child and I was there; but that description though..LMAAAOOO.

    “heavyset thighs.” Thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.

      Safe to say that NO ONE condones this type of behavior.
