Los Angeles Sex Crime Attorneys and Teachers
Throughout Los Angeles, parents are highly paranoid at the possibility of their children being molested by adults, especially by adults who hold specific positions of authority. Teachers, coaches, doctors and so forth hold the kinds of positions that are tragic when abused because they are so trusted. In Norwalk, a tutor who is almost a senior citizen was arrested on molestation charges according to the LA Times. Frank Chung is a 63 year old math tutor in Norwalk who has been arrested on suspicion of molesting a student. To make matters worse, authorities believe there may be other victims of the man who owns a tutoring center and has worked there for five years as an after school teacher. He was arrested in La Palma. Before opening the center, Chung worked in Northern California for 25 years. He will need a high skilled Los Angeles Sex Crimes Defense Attorney as the penalties involved in such a case are quite severe.
Authorities were notified of possible problems when a 13 year old student was overheard discussing possible inappropriate sexual contact with Chung to her siblings. There is a Special Victims Bureau in the Sheriff's Department, and detectives there conducted interviews and background checks on Mr. Chung. He was arrested at home and is being held on $1 million bail. As investigators believe there are more victims of the man, they are researching and reaching out to the community to find other minors who may have been harmed. Chung was arrested the same week as a man in Orange County who is charged with a felony count of having sexual intercourse with a child under 10 and oral copulation of a child under 10. Allegedly, the Huntington Beach man molested a 4 year old relative while babysitting. He has a prior strike conviction against him for residential burglary in 2009. In both of these cases, having a skilled Los Angeles Sex Crimes Defense Attorney working on their behalf could be the difference between years in prison and freedom.
