SAN BERNARDINO – Nearly one week after the Libertarian Party treasurer from San Bernardino County was arrested on felony child molestation charges, she faces an arraignment in May.
Glynda Sue Perrotte, 42, of Highland was booked into Central Detention Center on March 11, suspected of committing lewd acts on a child and oral copulation with a 15-year-old boy.
A sheriff’s spokesman confirmed that Perrotte had posted bond on $150,000 bail, released from custody and now faces a San Bernardino Superior Court date on May 13 on the two felony counts filed by the District Attorney’s Office on Feb. 25. She surrendered to authorities after the warrant was sworn.
Perrotte, who works as a claims adjuster trainee for the Riverside County Department of Human Resources, is represented by defense attorney Michael Scaffidi.
Scaffidi said Perrotte plans to plead not guilty at her May 13 arraignment.
Perrotte, who has no previous criminal history, is the treasurer for the county Libertarian party, having resigned that post in view of the charges against her. Scaffidi said she hopes to regain that position when she is cleared of the charges.
A county sheriff’s release said that no details have yet to be released on the investigation. Perrotte surrendered to investigators on the morning on March 11. She was presented with the facts of the case, subsequently arrested, and was eventually released from custody at 10:45 a.m. on that same day.
Perrotte’s resignation from the Libertarian party took place within 24 hours after she had been charged.
