Woman arrested in 29 Palms for alleged sexual abuse of 6-year-old

A woman was arrested in Twentynine Palms Wednesday on suspicion of child sexual abuse in connection with an incident reported in November, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

On November 25, Morongo Basin Station deputies received a referral from Children and Family Services about the sexual abuse of a 6-year-old. The victim reportedly was abused on two separate occasions by 28-year-old Kimberly Willet of Twentynine Palms.

On Wednesday, a warrant was issued for Willet's arrest. Later that day, Willet was taken into custody on suspicion of committing Lewd and Lascivious Acts with a Child under 14 and booked into Morongo Basin Jail.
