SUMMARY: Deputies from the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department were notified by residents of a condominium complex in the 7100 block of East Avenue regarding suspicious activity by a resident named Scott Anders.
The investigation revealed Anders befriended several male teenage juveniles in the complex, and invited them into his home to do chores, and walk his dogs. Anders provided the juveniles with gifts and money for the work they completed. While one of the male juveniles was in Anders' residence, Anders disrobed, exposing himself to the male juvenile. Anders attempted to get the juvenile to undress in front of him.
On Saturday, October 16, 2021, detectives contacted Anders and transported him to the Rancho Cucamonga Police Station for further investigation. At the conclusion of his interview, Anders was arrested and booked into the West Valley Detention Center on the above charges. Anders posted bail and was released from custody. Anders is scheduled to appear in the Rancho Cucamonga Superior Court on December 1, 2021.
This is an on-going investigation. Detectives are releasing a booking photo of Scott Anders, as they believe there may be additional juvenile victims who were contacted by Anders, and have yet to come forward.
If anyone has information pertinent to this investigation, they are urged to contact the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department, Detective Bureau. If you choose to remain anonymous, call We-Tip at 1-800-78-CRIME.
