Brothers Arrested in Child Molestations
Two brothers have been arrested in Tustin on suspicion of sexually molesting two boys, ages 7 and 9, that they were baby-sitting, authorities said Tuesday.
The brothers, both 16, told investigators they had fondled 15 other children, Tustin Police Lt. Mike Shanahan said. The brothers’ names were not released because of their age.
The youths are being held at Orange County Juvenile Hall. A hearing is set for today on whether they can be released to the custody of their parents until a trial begins.
