San Carlos Man Arrested For Alleged Lewd Acts with 10-Year-Old

San Carlos resident Yung Chi Chu was arrested Wednesday night and charged with 12 acts of lewd acts with a 10-year-old girl, police said.

Chu was also charged with one count of sending harmful matter with the intent of seducing a minor and one count of contacting a minor with the intent to commit a sexual offense, police said.

 Police responded to a call from the victim’s parents who became concerned when their daughter began receiving “an inappropriate number of cell phone call and text messages from a family friend,” read a police report.

 Chu, a former I.T. technician for the Menlo park City School District, was identified as that family friend.

 A search warrant was issued after police obtained evidence from the young girl that led to Chu, though the report did not specify what that evidence was.

 Anyone with information should call Sheriff’s Detective Sergeant Bryan Raffaelli at 650-363-4058 or the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office Anonymous Tip Line at (800) 547-2700.
