BLOOMINGTON, Calif. — Years before Earl Venton Buchanan was arrested on child pornography charges last week, authorities investigated several claims of child molestation.
Authorities have identified eight to 11 children who are believed to have been molested by Buchanan, 62, and some -- probably three or four -- were named in reports to child protection agencies in Southern California, said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Police in Banning were alert to Buchanan on Nov. 20, 2000, when a parent came to the station to accuse him of molesting two girls, ages 11 and 12, said Banning Deputy Chief Leonard Purvis.
Buchanan allegedly molested the girls at a home in Yucaipa, Purvis said. Investigators turned over the report to the San Bernardino County sheriffs station in Yucaipa because the alleged incident happened there, Purvis said.
