Man accused of following, soliciting and attempting to kidnap multiple girls in Moreno Valley

A Riverside County man was arrested Wednesday after he was identified as the suspect in crimes against two underage girls and an adult woman in the Moreno Valley area.

Brian Vaughn, 36, of Jurupa Valley, was arrested Wednesday after law enforcement served a search warrant at his home on the 3900 block of Hawk Drive.

Authorities believe they’ve linked Vaughn to three separate known crimes, the first of which happened Halloween afternoon.

Just before 5 p.m., Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies from the Moreno Valley station received a call about a man following a 17-year-old girl as she walked home from school. The victim told deputies that the man was photographing her and driving next to her as he offered to give her a ride.

Deputies took down the victim’s statement but were unable to find the suspect.

The following day, just after 4 p.m., deputies were dispatched for a report of a man approaching a 12-year-old girl and then soliciting her for sex. The victim told investigators that she knew the man, and it was determined he was the same person responsible for the incident from the previous evening.
