Wildomar Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting Teen Boy, Police Seek Possible Additional Victims

A Wildomar man was jailed in lieu of a half-million dollars bail Wednesday, accused of sexually assaulting a teen boy, records indicate.

According to Riverside County Sheriff's Lt. Zachary Hall, 68-year-old William Bell was arrested Jan. 31 following an investigation which was sparked by someone reporting the alleged abuse. 

"In January, 2014, an adult male reported to the Wildomar Police that he was sexually assaulted by William Bell when he was 13 years old,"  Hall said in a press statement.  

At that point, local investigators looked into the case, and eventually made an arrest.

"The investigation revealed that Bell may have inappropriately communicated with minors using the internet and video gaming systems; or met with them in person," according to Hall.  "The Wildomar Police Detective Bureau is continuing to investigate, and is searching for any additional victims."

Jail records indicate Bell was taken to the Southwest Detention Center, and booked on four felony charges related to the sexual assault of a child under 14 years of age.  He was booked on $500,000 bail, and is scheduled to be arraigned on Feb. 13.
