Curtis Eugene Crakaal Busted
Curtis Eugene Crakaal, 40, a registered sex offender from Banning, California has been busted after cops linked him to a 16-year-old boy who went missing last Monday.
On Thursday when police officers swooped down on Crakaal’s home in Banning they discovered the missing boy who told them that he met Crakaal through a cell-phone application he called America’s Mobile Best Pics, a Myspace of sorts for cellphones.
Following his recovery the boy was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries he received from the abuse.
Reportedly, Crakaal pleaded not guilty Friday to three counts of sodomy and two counts of committing lewd acts with a child. He is being held on $100,000 bail and his next court date is September 7th.
Investigators have said that Crakall had notebooks listing other names, ages and cell numbers of persons between 14 to 17 years old and may have additional victims. The investigation is continuing and police ask that anyone with information call the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Fontana station at (909) 356-6713.
