Los Angeles County Custodian Arrested For Fondling Girls

Los Angeles County Custodian Arrested For Fondling Girls
A custodian has been arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for sex crimes after allegedly fondling two girls at a Lennox elementary school. The custodian, Bernard Lobjois, was also accused of molesting the same girl and a 7-year-old friend at the school in December. According to police, Lobjois threatened the girls and said he would harm them or their families if they told anyone about the incident.
In the second incident, which happened on February 10, Lobjois slapped the victim's face and left a mark, which the girl's mother asked her about. The girl told her mother about the incident and she reported it to police. Lobjois was arrested on February 13 and was charged with lewd or lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14, making criminal threats and child cruelty. He was released from jail on a $100,000 bond.
