Beaumont Man Accused In Groping Incident, Other Victims Sought

BEAUMONT, CA — A Beaumont man charged with sexual battery in San Bernardino County may have victimized others who have not come forward, police reported this week.

Khristopher Charles Salinas, 26, is accused of groping a woman as she jogged in the 1300 block of Grove Street in Redlands. The alleged November incident occurred as Salinas drove up alongside the woman and reached out of his car to grab her, according to the Redlands Police Department, which is now seeking additional victims.

During last fall's incident, Salinas drove away, but investigators were able to identify his vehicle using automated license plate reader cameras, which led to the Beaumont resident, police said.

Redlands police ask anyone who may have been a victim or has information about similar incidents to contact the department at 909-798-7681, ext. 1, or email Sgt. Kyle Alexander at kalexander@redlandspolice.org.
