Farid Lalezarzadeh is believed to have 'walked behind the victim and pinched him on the buttocks' while his family ordered food at a donut shop on Aug. 31. Police are looking for anyone who may have witnessed the incident.
Glendale police are searching for anyone who may have witnessed the sexual assault of a 13-year-old boy in late-August. The incident is said to have occurred on Aug. 31, when the boy and his family were ordering at the"Yum Yum Donuts" shop located on W. Glenoaks Boulevard.
"As he walks up, he's gonna use hand sanitizer as a ruse to get close to the kid, cause the kid happens to be standing next to the sanitizer pump, with his left hand he appears to grope or pinch the child's butt. Then you see the child react," said Glendale PD's Victor Jackson. Another patron witnessed the incident and stepped in between Lalezarzadeh and the boy. He and his friend confronted Lalezarzadeh, who immediately left the property.
Glendale Police Department officers were able to locate the suspect at a later time and arrest him for lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old. He has since been released on bail. "This type of thing can't go without prosecution," Jackson said."The family deserves justice and I think everyone can understand why.""While the family was paying for their breakfast at the counter, Farid Lalezarzadeh walked behind the victim and pinched him on the buttocks"
