Long Beach police Thursday announced the May 13 arrest of a music teacher on suspicion of lewd and lascivious acts with a minor.
On May 12, officers were dispatched to the area of Fourth Street and Ximeno Avenue after a girl said she was “inappropriately touched” by a man earlier that day, according to a press release.
The next day, detectives arrested 55-year-old Bryan Scott of Lynwood, who provides in-home music lessons, the department said.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney charged Scott on May 17 with a count of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 and a count of sexual battery. He has pleaded not guilty.
Scott is being held at Men’s Central Jail on $125,000 bail.
Long Beach police are seeking possible additional victims.
