Dixon Music Teacher Accused of Molesting Five Boys Seen in Court Friday

Dixon music teacher accused of molesting young boys was back in court briefly on Friday, when his preliminary hearing was postponed until October 11.

Wilkins has been held at Solano County Jail since Dixon police arrested the 34-year-old man on April 16. 

Accused of molesting children five children in Dixon and Vacaville for more than a decade, the Dixon resident was arrested for numerous counts of Lewd Acts Upon a Child. A bail enhancement was obtained and Mr. Wilkins is being held on $500,000 bail.

"This investigation uncovered criminal activity occurring over the last 11 years in both the City of Dixon and the City of Vacaville," according to the department. 

"Wilkens was a local music teacher," according to Dixon Police Chief Jon Cox. "He was not a Dixon Unified teacher but had his own private business. At this time, none of his students or former students are reported victims."

Dixon police learned of Wilkin’s alleged behavior when an acquaintance came to the department stating Wilkins had told her what he did to various victims, mostly boys between the ages of 9 and 17.

“They are his close friends and family,” Chief Cox told Fox 40 news, “Our investigation now is in to the music school. We’re concerned they could possibly be more victims since he had access to children behind closed doors.”

The Dixon Police Department is requesting members of the public with any additional information pertinent to this investigation to contact the Dixon Police Department Investigations Division at 707-678-7070.
