Florida- from www.orlandosentinel.com – A Sanford man accused of lewd acts with teen girls in a theater group last year is expected in court today, according to a television report.
Ismael Angel “Ish” Rios was arrested at his home in October, accused of two counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a minor and one count of lewd and lascivious conduct on a minor.
The three victims — ages 13, 14 and 15 — were participants in the Wekiva River Players junior theater program and complained about him to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.
According to a report last year, the girls said Rios approached them separately and said he was considering them for a play and asked them what they would do for a part.
He told them he had a foot fetish and asked them to accompany him to his vehicle or an office, the report said.
The group’s board of directors met as soon as it learned of the allegations against Rios and voted to sever the relationship.
The youngest of the three victims told deputies she left when Rios unzipped his pants and asked her to put her feet on his groin area, but the other two girls did what Rios asked, deputies said last year.
