MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – An 18-year-old Middletown man who was one of six people arrested on July 11 for a string of burglaries committed in the Middletown area is now charged with sex crimes, allegedly committed against a 13-year-girl.
Dorian Jay Decker has been arrested for allegedly annoying or molesting a child under 18 years of age, according to Capt. James Bauman of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Decker was among six suspects – two adults and four juveniles – arrested on July 11 following an extensive investigation led by Deputy Dennis Keithly, the Lake County Sheriff's Office's Middletown community service deputy, into multiple burglaries committed in Middletown, as Lake County News has reported.
Bauman said Monday that approximately one week before the Middletown burglary cases were closed, the family of a 13-year-old Yuba City girl reported that Decker had allegedly molested her while she was visiting Decker’s family in Middletown over this past Memorial Day weekend in May.
The victim and her father were reportedly long-time acquaintances of Decker’s family, Bauman said.
Following further investigation by the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit, a warrant of arrest was secured by detectives on July 19 and Decker was arrested at his home without incident, according to Bauman.
Bauman said Decker was transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility and booked on charges of annoying or molesting a child under 18 years of age.
Jail records indicated Decker's bail was set at $10,000. He later posted it and was released.
Anyone with information relating to this case, or any other allegations of similar conduct by Decker is asked to contact Det. Mike Curran at 707-262-4200.
