A SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, MAN WAS brought before a Superior Court judge in Victorville Monday where police testified that Robert William Tell, 39, sexually molested minors while he was posing as a firefighter. The judge ruled that there is sufficient evidence to hold him and scheduled an arraignment date for January 6 where he can enter a plea.
The San Bernardino Sun REPORTS:
Detectives served a search warrant in October at Tell’s home in the 24000 block of Roxbury Road, in Apple Valley, after two girls told deputies about the alleged molestation, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. Firefighting equipment and other evidence was seized at the home.
Tell reportedly wore a firefighting uniform, drove a red Ford Explorer and recruited children in his neighborhood for the explorer program. He also reportedly distributed business cards for a phony fire agency.
The defendant is charged with aggravated sexual assault of a minor, continuous sexual abuse of a child, lewd or lascivious acts with a child, and assault with a deadly weapon, court records state.
