Man arrested for child sexual abuse in Denny’s bathroom

Police are looking for more victims of a man arrested Friday for allegedly sexually assaulting a child in a Denny’s bathroom in Santa Ana.

Santa Ana Police Department officers were dispatched to the restaurant, located in the 2500 block of S. Bristol Street, around noon Friday after learning of a “breakdown,” according to a statement from the department.

Upon arrival, they learned that a man identified as Raymond Miramontes “refused to pay for his food and fell asleep in a cubicle”.

While police were arresting Miramontes, a female customer told them he had sexually assaulted her son while he was in the restroom.

“The victim was interviewed and reported while in the men’s room. Miramontes entered and assaulted him,” the SAPD statement said. “The child reported the abuse to his mother while officers were already on site to investigate the disturbance, and she immediately notified officers.”

Miramontes was booked on several assault charges and is being held on $1 million bail.

Due to the nature of the crimes, investigators believe there may be additional victims. Anyone who has more information or believes they are a victim is asked to contact them at (714) 245-8352.
