Man Suspected Of Annoying Temecula Girls Now Featured In Police Sketch

A sketch was released Tuesday of a man suspected of annoying girls in Temecula's Wolf Creek Park.

The two alleged child annoyance incidents were reported the afternoon of Sept. 30 near Temecula Luiseño Elementary School, and since then the community has been asked to be on alert.

In a letter disseminated Oct. 1 by the Temecula Valley Unified School District, parents were informed of the incidents that allegedly about 30 minutes apart Tuesday near the restroom at Wolf Creek Park, next door to the elementary school campus.

TVUSD stated that in each instance, a white or Hispanic man between 20 and 25 years old approached a girl and made alleged inappropriate comments.

“Both girls were able to flee without incident and reported it to their parents who then contacted the police,” TVUSD stated in the letter.

The incidents reportedly occurred at 3:20 p.m. and 3:50 p.m., after school had let out for the day, according to District Spokeswoman Melanie Norton.

Police are currently investigating both matters, Temecula police Sgt. Terry Jones confirmed.
