Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect responsible for attacking three children at Sierra Elementary School in Lancaster.
Before classes began on Tuesday, August 28, 2007, a man jumped a fence onto the grounds of Sierra Elementary School, 747 West Avenue J-12, in the city of Lancaster. The suspect approached a group of students and grabbed one victim and fondled her chest and genital area. Two other students were touched in the same manner. The victims were all 7 years old. The suspect fled when a teacher’s aide came from around the corner of the classroom building.
The suspect is described as being in his early 20’s, 5’8” tall, weighing 150 to 170 lbs, with black hair and brown eyes. He was dressed in a black t-shirt with brown pants at the time of the incident. It is believed that the suspect was involved in another similar assault in Lancaster.
The Special Victims Bureau is seeking information regarding this suspect to assist in their investigation. Supervisor Antonovich encourages witnesses of this crime or anyone with information to contact Sergeant Dan Scott at (562) 946-8282 or (866) 247-587
Supervisor Antonovich will introduce the reward motion at the next scheduled meeting of the Board of Supervisors on September 4, 2007.
