A 42-year-old homeless man has been arrested and charged for sexual assault of a teenage girl as she was walking home from school late last week in Burbank, authorities announced Tuesday.  

The incident occurred at around 3:45 p.m. on April 19 as the victim, a 13-year-old, was approached by the suspect, who made sexually inappropriate comments to her before grabbing her under her shorts, according to a news release from the Burbank Police Department.  

When officers responded, the teen provided officers with a description of the man and where she had last seen him.  

Police were quickly able to find the suspect, identified as Tyrone Del Mar, just a short distance away and take him into custody.  

He was booked for felony sexual battery on a child, authorities said.  

After reviewing the case, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday charged the 42-year-old transient with one felony count of lewd acts on a child under the age of 14 and a misdemeanor count of child annoying.  

Del Mar has been arraigned and remains in custody on $100,000 bail, the release stated.  

While police did not release a photo of the suspect or provide a description, the investigation into the incident is ongoing and anyone with information related to the case is encouraged to call the Burbank Police Department’s Domestic and Family Crimes Unit at 818-238-3210.
