On December 27, 2012, Investigators with the Ventura County Sheriff’s East County Sexual Assault Unit arrested Donald Alan Tuthill for committing lewd acts with a child. Tuthill had inappropriately touched a 12-year-old victim while the victim was spending the night at Tuthill’s residence. Tuthill is currently in custody at the Ventura County Pre-Trial Detention Facility on $100,000.00 bail. He will be arraigned in Ventura County Superior Court on December 31, 2012.

This investigation has led to concern that Tuthill may have assaulted other victims. Investigators believe that Tuthill has volunteered with community groups that may have provided an avenue to access children. Anyone with information that may help in identifying witnesses or other potential victims is asked to contact the Sheriff’s East County Sexual Assault Unit at 805-494-8201.

Ventura County Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 reward for information, which leads to the arrest and criminal complaint against the person(s) responsible for these types of crimes. The caller may remain anonymous. The call is not recorded. Call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).
