PALM DESERT, CA — Two Palm Desert men were arrested for alleged crimes involving children, the sheriff's department announced Tuesday.

Deputies were alerted on Friday to an allegation of sexual abuse of a child that occurred in the 74000 block of Scholar Lane, Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Albert Martinez said.

An investigation led to the arrests that afternoon of 28-year-old Devin Daniel Lujan, who was booked on suspicion of oral copulation of a minor under the age of 10, and 31-year-old James Anderson, who is accused of distribution of child porn and indecent exposure, Martinez said.

Lujan and Anderson were released Saturday after posting bail of $55,000 and $30,000, respectively.

Lujan is scheduled to be arraigned on Aug. 26, while Anderson's arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 28, both at the Larson Justice Center in Indio.
