ARCADIA - An Arcadia-based tutor is accused of a number of sex crimes against one of his underage pupils and investigators believe there may be more victims.

Tsungyu Chien, 57, was arrested by investigators after discovering he was sitting outside the home of a girl who accused him of sexually assaulting her October 21. He was booked on suspicion of sexual battery, sexual penetration with a foreign object and child annoyance, according to the Arcadia Police Department.

Officers were notified of the alleged assaults October 20.

“The tutor drove the victim to his residence in the City of Arcadia. While there, the suspect convinced the victim to allow him to give her a massage. During the massage, the suspect inappropriately touched the victim.
