Indio Man Arrested for Child Molestation In Mexico
A 58-year-old Indio man, who police say molested young girls, has been arrested on child sex charges. Richard Robert Frescas has pleaded not guilty to committing lewd acts on a child under 14 and penetration by force, according to an article in the Riverside Press-Enterprise. Frescas allegedly molested at least two girls several times between 2006 and 2007 when they were at his home. Prosecutors also allege that he used force to molest the girls, who attempted to get away.
Riverside district attorney’s investigators reportedly arrested Frescas in the Mexican state of Sonora. Frescas was one of several to be placed on Riverside County’s “most wanted list.”
Next to serious violent crimes, child molestation carries the greatest risk for state prison sentences – be it first-time offenders or repeat offenders. A child molestation conviction also means registering as a sex offender for the rest of your life. Child sexual abuse also carries a greater risk for false accusations, which result in criminal prosecutions.
