"We have reason to be very concerned that there are many other child victims out there who have not yet come forward"
Authorities in Palm Bay are looking into the possibility Thursday that one sex offender had more victims that they thought.
Scott F. Lurken was arrested on four counts of lewd and lascivious conduct and one count of sexual battery and booked into the Brevard County Jail, according to a press release.
A 9-year-old reported sexual battery and an 11-year-old girl said Lurken kissed her on the lips with his eyes closed while rubbing her back and stomach. Then, on June 1, a new victim, a 13-year-old girl, came forward and claimed that a similar situation involving Lurken happened to her, according to the press release.
"We have reason to be very concerned that there are many other child victims out there who have not yet come forward," said Detective Greg Guillette of the Special Victims Unit in a press release. "Many times these victims are afraid to come forward, but it's important in order to protect others."
"25% of all sex offenders re-offend within 15 years"
