LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy has been arrested for investigation of committing lewd acts on a child. Police say, Deputy Oscar Rodriguez, a 10-year department veteran, was taken into custody last Thursday and was immediately relieved of duty pending the outcome of criminal and administrative investigations.
Police say the alleged acts were committed while Rodriguez was off duty. Rodriguez was assigned to the sheriff’s Marina del Rey station. He’s being held on $100,000 bail.
It appears that lewd acts on children in SoCal is spreading like the scandal with priests and alter boys. This is awful and needs to seriously be addressed anywhere and everywhere children and adult men interact. Maybe health class in public schools should teach about warning signs and how to protect themselves against these predators. It makes me sick at the thought of the emotional damage caused by these perverts.
What do you think could be done to alleviate this growing problem?
