A Southern California tutor was arrested for the alleged sexual abuse of a teen girl.<\/p>\n
The suspect was identified as Tsungyu Chien, 57, of Arcadia. On Oct. 21, Arcadia police were alerted to a possible sexual abuse incident involving the girl and her tutor.<\/p>\n
The victim said she was driven to Chien\u2019s Arcadia home on Oct. 20 and while there, he convinced her to allow him to give her a massage. During the massage, he allegedly touched her inappropriately.<\/p>\n
The girl said she felt uncomfortable and asked Chien to drive her back home. She told a school counselor about the incident the next day and the counselor notified the police, according to Pasadena Star News.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cDuring follow-up interviews, detectives learned the suspect had contacted the victim via text messages after the incident,\u201d authorities said. \u201cDetectives reviewed the messages and discovered the suspect was parked outside the victim\u2019s home.\u201d<\/p>\n Police responded to the girl\u2019s home, where they found Chien outside her residence. He was arrested at the scene and booked for sexual battery, sexual penetration with a foreign object and child annoyance. Police did not release the suspect\u2019s photo or the victim\u2019s age.<\/p>\n Authorities told Pasadena Star News that Chien was a college coach who had been tutoring the girl for about a year. He reportedly worked with clients all across the Southland.<\/p>\n Due to Chien\u2019s work as a tutor and the potential contact with other juveniles, detectives are searching for more possible victims.<\/p>\n Anyone who believes they may have had inappropriate contact or interactions with Chien is asked to call Arcadia police at 626-574-5188 or 626-574-5183 and reference case number 2504209.<\/p>\n Anonymous tips can be provided to L.A.
