Apr. 20 South Lake Tahoe police officials and El Dorado County prosecutors on Monday were looking for additional victims in a case against a man arrested last week in Nevada and accused of sexually assaulting a child.
Rex Bernat, who was wanted on a felony fugitive warrant, was arrested Thursday in Reno, according to a news release from the South Lake Tahoe Police Department.
Police said Bernat faces charges related to the sexual assault of a child younger than 14 years old, a crime that allegedly occurred in South Lake Tahoe. The police news release did not indicate the exact age or gender of the child.
The South Lake Tahoe Police Department (SLTPD) is focusing on youth cyber-bullying this week during Digital Drama Awareness Week April 12-16, 2021.
There are dangers on the social media, too many to list, but the danger parents need to be understand is the increased risk online of children being kidnapped, trafficked, sexually assaulted, and even murdered, said the South Lake Tahoe Police Department (SLTPD).
From SLTPD:
Watch what your kids are doing online. Even on their school provided computers. Monitor who they are talking to, and what kind of content they re sending and receiving. Report anything that seems predatory.
Listen to your kids. If they re telling you they re concerned about something they sent or received, this is an opportunity for listening and education, not necessarily for punishment. They need your help.
