Walnut Creek Man Sentenced Over Six Years Child Sexual Abuse, Porn Possession
Marc Alexander Simon, 28, was sentenced to six years and eight months in state prison for sexually abusing a child at the Walnut Creek Library in April 2024 and for possessing hundreds of images and videos of child sexual abuse material. Following his arrest, which was facilitated by security camera footage and swift police work, Simon was ordered to register for life as a sex offender. The incident involved Simon following a minor into a library restroom and committing the abuse, which was reported by the child to an adult who then contacted the police. Authorities described Simon as a transient man, and he has been in custody since his arrest and began serving his sentence immediately. District Attorney Diana Becton praised the rapid investigative efforts by the Walnut Creek Police and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, emphasizing their commitment to protecting children from predators. The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Ashley Torres, highlighting a strong collaborative effort among local law enforcement and prosecution teams.
