Officers arrested a Santa Maria man last week who allegedly grabbed the buttocks of three young girls at the Orcutt Dollar Tree in August and September.

On Aug. 21, a caller reported a man had grabbed the buttocks of a 6-year-old girl at the Dollar Tree store located at 4869 S. Bradley Road in Orcutt. The suspect fled before deputies arrived.

On Sept. 13, received a second and third report a man had grabbed young girls, a 9-year-old girl and a 7-year-old girl. In each case, the man fled before deputies arrived.

During their investigation, detectives identified the suspect as 20-year-old Angel Gabriel LopezRojas of Santa Maria. Deputies arrested LopezRojas on Sept. 19 and booked him in the Northern Branch Jail on charges of  lewd and lascivious acts with a minor under 14 and child annoying.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with knowledge of additional crimes associated with LopezRojas to please contact Detective Brownlee at (805) 681-4150.

Yea, vote for the person convicted of sexual assualt.

Society can see why these people commit these crimes. There’s little to no punishment and they’re often let out of jail. Your vote matters.

100% agree. Vote for a party that doesn’t put a convicted felon who is also guilty of civil sexual assault on the ballot. You know the one who brags about grabbing female genitalia… Voting for him to put an end to A$$ grabbing seems a bit illogical to me.

Without addressing the total absurdity of your comment MrYan, I remember very well that Bill Clinton served 2 terms as POTUS.
