Orange County Judge Arrested For Lewd Acts With A Minor

An Orange County Superior Court judge already facing a federal charge of possessing child pornography has been

arrested in a child molestation case more than 25 years old. Irvine police say Judge Ronald Kline was booked today for investigation of four counts of lewd conduct with a child under the age of 14.

Kline surrendered at the police department and was later released on 100 thousand dollars bail. Lieutenant Sam Allevato says the allegations against Kline were made by a man who said as a 12 year old he was molested by Kline. Kline´s attorney says the charges are false.
