An Arcadia man who works as a tutor was arrested Tuesday night, Oct. 21, on suspicion of inappropriately touching a teenage girl at his home the day before.
The suspect, 57-year-old Tsungyu Chien, also allegedly sent text messages to the girl afterward and was caught by detectives parked in front of the victim’s home, police said.
Police didn’t release the age of the victim.
Lt. Kollin Cieadlo described the suspect as a college coach who has been tutoring the victim for about a year. The suspect worked all over, he added.
On Oct. 20, Monday, the victim met the suspect who drove her to his home. He convinced the teen to allow him to give her a massage. During the massage, police said he inappropriately touched the victim. She became uncomfortable and asked him to take her home.
The victim told a school counselor about what happened to her and the counselor notified police Tuesday afternoon, according to Cieadlo.
During follow-up interviews, detectives learned the suspect sent text messages to the teen. They reviewed the messages and discovered the suspect was parked outside the victim’s home, police said.
Chien was booked at the Arcadia Police jail on suspicion of sexual battery, sexual penetration with a foreign object and annoying a child.
Booking records show the suspect posted bond and was released from custody early Wednesday morning.
Investigators asked anyone who believes they may have had inappropriate contact or interactions with the suspect to call the Arcadia Police Department at 626-574-5188 or 626-574-5183. Anonymous tipsters can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or go to lacrimestoppers.org
