Disneyland Employee Faces Child Sex Charges

By Renee Schiavone (Patch Staff)

A Disneyland employee accused of sexually abusing multiple children at a Southern California home is scheduled to appear in court this week, jail records indicate.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department arrested 21-year-old David Goodman of Banning on Dec. 19, after he was allegedly caught masturbating in front of two young boys in Yucaipa and he was tied to more alleged incidents with a 5-year-old girl.

According to the sheriff’s department, deputies received a report of the alleged crime that day, which involved a 6-year-old and 9-year-old boy.

“...Detectives from the Crimes Against Children Detail, and personnel from the Highland Sheriff’s Station made contact with the six and nine year old male victims, the five year old female victim, and the male victim’s mother,” sheriff’s officials said in a news release. “The victims all disclosed sexual abuse by David Goodman on December 19, 2014 and on at least two prior occasions within the last several months.”

Goodman was arrested on charges of lewd acts with a child under 14, oral copulation of a child under 14 and sexual penetration with a foreign object, according to the agency.

The Press Enterprise reports that he entered pleas of not guilty to a total of six felonies on Dec. 24. He’s due in court Friday.

Police released photos of Goodman and his vehicle should anyone have more information connected to this case. Those images are attached to this article.

The suspect has worked at Disneyland since August, but what he does there wasn’t disclosed.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff’s department at 909-387-3615.
