Yesterday the news was shocking. A convicted child predator was caught on tape at a Borders bookstore in Arcadia, stalking a 5 year old girl and attempting to touch her and inappropriately rub up against her in full view of other shoppers. The girl's father caught on and the whole scene is caught on tape (click here for a CBS video report and crime scene video footage).

Two weeks ago a Moorpark bus driver was arrested for suspicion of molesting a boy with autism.
Last month a former Ventura elementary school teacher was sent to jail for molesting an 8 year old boy for 2 years.
