Arroyo Grande man arrested for child molestation
Lawrence L. Jones
Lawrence L. Jones, past recipient of Arroyo Grande Citizen of the Year recognition, arrested on allegations of child molestation
On March 24, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office received information that two female juveniles under the age of 14 had been sexually molested while attending a birthday party at the rural Arroyo Grande home of Lawrence “Lenny” Jones.
Based on that information, sheriff’s detectives began an investigation into the incident. That investigation has resulted in the arrest of 63-year-old Lawrence Lucien Jones of Arroyo Grande.
Jones was arrested on Monday and booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of kidnapping, child molestation, and penetration with a foreign object. Additional charges are pending, according to the sheriff’s office.
Jones, a real estate agent, was the recent recipient of Arroyo Grande’s citizen of the year award.
This investigation is continuing. At this time, investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying any other potential victims in this case by calling the sheriff’s office at (805) 781-4500.
While in no way defending this individual's reported actions, it should be noted that scientific studies based on legitimate empirical evidence do not support the mass hysteria and moral panic that currently surrounds sexually expressed child/older person relationships, which are invariably cast as "child sex abuse/pedophilia." Like masturbation and homosexuality were demonized in the past, these irrational emotional responses are based on ignorance and fear, and are promoted by agenda-driven "victimological" academics who argue that all such relationships are intrinsically pervasively harmful. But is this supposed harm intrinsic to the interaction, or does it instead result from the social hysteria that occurs when such a relationship is discovered? Also, there are no legitimate data supporting intrinsic harmfulness, and no credible pathway or mechanism for such harm has been demonstrated.

There are indeed some people who trick or force children into unwanted sexual interactions. But there are vast differences between consensual sexually expressed child/older person relationships and unilateral "child sexual abuse" by an older person.

Seems men like this are everywhere
