Lewd Acts Arrest – 1901435

On Wednesday March 27, 2019, the Arcadia Recreation and Community Services Department received information of a suspicious physical contact between one of their part-time employees and a female juvenile, who was attending the Afterschool Recreation Program at the Longley Way Elementary School, in Arcadia. Arcadia Recreation and Community Services immediately notified the Arcadia Police Department. Police Detectives spoke with several employees and juveniles who worked at, or attended, the Afterschool Recreation Program. Police Detectives interviewed the suspect, and he was arrested for suspicion of violating Penal Code Section 288(a) – Lewd and Lascivious Acts with a Child Under 14.

The arrestee is identified as Moises Davila, a 20-year-old resident of Arcadia. Mr. Davila was booked at the Arcadia Police Department Jail, and his booking photo was attached to this news release. Mr. Davila was released after posting his $100,000 bail.

Through the course of the investigation, Police Detectives identified five female victims, who were between the ages of 8 to 10-years-old. Although it appears the physical contacts between the suspect and the victims were not overtly sexual in nature, Detectives are looking for additional victims who may have experienced similar circumstances while attending the Afterschool Recreation Program at Longley Way Elementary School involving this suspect.
