Walnut Creek Man Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Child Under 10: Police

WALNUT CREEK, CA — A Walnut Creek man is facing charges related to the sexual assault of a child and police believe there may be other victims out there.

The case against Kevin Osborne, 67, was announced Thursday by the Walnut Creek Police Department.

Osborne was arrested April 30 by Walnut Creek police detectives on suspicion of the sexual assault of a minor younger than 10. The allegations stem from incidents 15-20 years ago that were first reported to the Walnut Creek Police Department several weeks ago.

A thorough investigation was conducted, police said.

The case was presented to the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office which charged Osborne with two counts of sexual assault of a child under 10 years old and 13 counts of lewd act upon a child.

Detectives are encouraging anyone else who may have been a victim to report the crime to their local law enforcement, police said.

Osborne remained in custody Friday at Contra Costa County Jail with his bail set at $3.3 million.

Police released a photo of Osborne in the event there were other victims out there.

"Given the nature of the allegations and the nature of the case, there may be other individuals whom the same suspect sexually assaulted," Walnut Creek police Lt. Drew Olson said. "Because it is possible there are other victims, we are releasing a photo of Osborne. We understand that it can be challenging for victims to come forward. Still, we encourage anyone with information about this case or who has experienced any form of sexual assault to contact the Walnut Creek Police Department at 925-943-5844 or call the Anonymous Tip Line at 925-943-5865."
