RUNNING SPRINGS >> A Rowland Heights church youth leader was reportedly caught in the backseat of a car with a 13-year-old girl over the weekend in Running Springs, and sheriff’s investigators are now searching for additional possible victims.
Yanhao Ren, 24, of Fullerton was arrested early Monday on suspicion of sexual abuse of a child after California Highway Patrol officers found the couple parked on a turnout along Highway 330 near Fredalba Road late Sunday, according to a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s release.
With help from the sheriff’s Twin Peaks station, investigators learned from the girl that the two had met when she attended the Evangelical Formosan Church of Rowland Heights’ youth program. She confirmed that she and Ren had been engaged in a sexual relationship since May of this year, officials said.
Authorities determined that during the following months they engaged in several sexual acts in Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties.
