Sex Offender Convicted In South San Francisco Molestation Case

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A 63-year-old transient was convicted of felony child molestation in San Mateo County Superior Court on Monday, according to prosecutors.

Anthony Miron allegedly walked into a South San Francisco laundromat on July 29, 2017, approached an 11-year-old child and began to talk about sex, saying that he would like to have sexual contact with her but didn't want to get her pregnant.

Miron then kissed the back of her hand, as well as her cheek, before her 15-year-old sister came over and the victim informed her sibling what had happened, prosecutors said.

The children gathered up their clothing and left, then told their parents, who called the police.

Miron, when apprehended, denied touching the girl, but investigators later found that the ordeal had been caught on video.

He was already a registered sex offender at the time of his arrest, and prosecutors said this was tried as a second-strike case.

Miron is being held on no-bail status, and is scheduled to return to court for sentencing on Sept. 14. He's facing a maximum sentence of 37 years in prison.

Defense attorney Ross Green did not immediately respond to a request for comment on his client's behalf.
