Local Artist Accused of Child Molestation

Any story about child molestation is painful to hear, but it is even worse when it is done at the hands of a parent.

According to a Deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, a 45-year-old man was apprehended this week on suspicion of molesting his 20-month-old twin daughters. Officers found the suspect in his apartment in Malibu and arrested him for possession of child pornography and suspicion of lewd acts on a child.

However, no additional information has been released as to how the male suspect, an artist in Southern California, was first identified as a molester. One of the few details released was the fact that the man is best known for his work putting images on Plexiglas by digital screening.
