Sun City man charged with 9 felony counts of sex crimes with a minor
A 40-year-old Sun City man has been charged with nine felony counts involving sex crimes with a minor.
On Aug. 13, David Leibowitz was arrested as the result of a joint investigation by the Riverside District Attorney’s Office and the Murrieta Police Department. According to Riverside DA’s office news release, Leibowitz met the current case’s victim through a dating website when the victim was under the age of 18.
In 2004, Leibowitz was convicted of committing a lewd act on a child under the age of 14 in Riverside County Superior Court. If he is convicted on the new charges, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Leibowitz’s full list of charges:
Leibowitz is “facing numerous charges including sodomy by force or duress, oral copulation by force or duress, and inducing or persuading a minor to engage in a commercial sex act,” according to the Riverside County DA’s office news release.
He also faces one charge of violation of post-release supervision or parole.
It is also charged that Leibowitz had other men come to the residence where the crimes were committed to have sex with the victim, an underage boy.
Leibowitz is believed to have contacted and met other possible victims online. The DA’s office urges anyone with any pertinent information relating to possible additional crime committed by the alleged sex offender to contact DA Investigator Sean Freeman at (951)-955-5400 or Murrieta police Detective Jason Jones at (951)-304-2677, extension 6809.
