CALIFORNIA BRIEFING / SANTA ANA
A horror-movie producer-director has been charged with molesting a 15-year-old girl he met on MySpace when she was 14, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office.
Iren Koster, 60, of Beverly Hills will be arraigned Friday in Fullerton on charges of lewd acts on a child and oral copulation of a minor. Koster met the girl on the social networking site and engaged in sexual conversations with her through instant messaging several times a week for months, the district attorney’s office said in a statement.
After she turned 15, Koster met her in person on four occasions in 2007 and 2008, when he engaged in oral copulation with her at her home and in his car, officials said. Koster was released from jail on $20,000 bail.
His movie producing and directing credits include “Mustang Sally’s Horror House” and “Invisible Kids.”
