Detectives found evidence indicating that the acts actually took place and found David in the City of Upland on December 14th. Following his interview at the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department, he was arrested and booked at West Valley Detention Center.
David was formally charged with 13 counts of lewd acts with a minor after the case was reviewed by the district attorney’s office on December 16th.
“During the investigation, evidence was obtained leading detectives to believe David may have used various social media platforms, lied about his true age, and met with other underage females to engage in sexual acts in the cities of Upland and Rancho Cucamonga,” according to the release.
His bail was subsequently set at $3,250,000 and the court date scheduled for December 17th.
