Man Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Child At Concord Laundromat: Police

CONCORD, CA -- A 60-year-old man was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of sexually assaulting a child at a laundromat on Monument Boulevard in Concord, according to police.

The child was with her grandmother, who was washing clothes, when another laundromat customer, Jose Chavez of Concord, "discretely victimized" the girl, according to police. The victim's grandmother didn't notice, and neither did the other customers in the laundromat, but the crime was recorded on the business's video security system, police said.

Chavez was found and arrested later that day and booked into the Martinez Detention Facility.

"The laundromat owners have fully cooperated with the Concord Police Department and we are doing everything we can for the child and her family," police said in a statement.

The Concord Police Department's Special Victims Unit is continuing its investigation of the incident, which includes the possibility that Chavez may have victimized others. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Concord Police Department's anonymous tip line at 925-603-5836.
