The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office filed two counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child against Guillermo Rincon-Lugo, after a person witnessed the crime and reported it to Burbank police.
Officials said the witness saw Rincon-Lugo molesting his granddaughter in the backseat of a car parked in the Vallarta Market parking lot, located in the 10900 block of Sherman Way Sunday. Officers were able to contact and identify the possible victim shortly after.
