Sexually Assaulting of a Girl, a "Disney" Worker is Charged Police Ask for Help

A Corona man who maintained rides at Disneyland has been charged with sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl, and authorities are seeking the public’s help to identify additional victims.

Bryan William Anast, 45, was arraigned Monday in Orange County Superior Court and is being held on $1-million bail. He is charged with five felony counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and possession of child pornography.

If convicted, he faces 63 years to life in prison.

In May, the girl told Orange County sheriff’s officials that Anast had assaulted her on four occasions between 1997 and 2000. One assault allegedly occurred at Yosemite National Park.

Investigators who searched Anast’s home found videos of child pornography on a computer storage device.

Anast was arrested last week at Disneyland, where he worked as a machinist.

The Orange County district attorney’s office is asking anyone with information about other potential victims to contact investigator Paul Carvo at (714) 347-8794.

Sexual Assault Case for "Park Shi Hoo" All Charges Dropped

After a much prolonged legal battle, the sexual harassment charges against actor Park Shi Hoo were dropped as of May 9th. According to the Western District Prosecutor’s Office, for cases of sexual assault, in the case that the case is dropped, then prosecution no longer has the authority to indict.

When the story broke out in February, the charges came to the fans and viewers alike as a shock because of Park Shi Hoo’s upright public image, especially since taking his role on Cheongdamdong Alice. It was also a shock that the accusation happened as soon as he left Story Entertainment to set up his own entertainment company, Hoo Factory, with his family.

The actor kept his composition and remained faithful to his initial claims throughout the case.

The girl who accused Park had done this before to another famed Actor.

Park Shi Hoo has also dropped his suit against the accuser, marking a bitter the end to what it came to be the celebrity lawsuit of the year. The counter lawsuits between the actor and his former agency, however, still stands.

UPDATE: 3rd party comes forward in ParkShiHoo sexual assault case

A third party has stepped forward to speak about the night that led to Park Shi Hoo being indicted for sexual assault against a 22 year old aspiring idol known as Trainee A. An actor who is being called Person B revealed that he was at the bar with Park Shi Hoo and Trainee A, and also was the one who facilitated the meeting. Multiple eyewitnesses, including security cameras and the owner of the bar, came forward with testimony and released statements regarding the situation at hand.

According to the police who are investigating this matter, the security camera at the bar captured Park Shi Hoo paying the bill before he headed out. The clips also included A being escorted by Park Shi Hoo. The owner of the bar said that A did not seem too drunk and she was able to walk out of the room and walk down the stairs herself, and Park Shi Hoo was only escorting her if she stumbled. However, other security cameras captured A being carried by B to the elevator as they headed towards the parking lot. The three then went to Park Shi Hoo’s house. Person B, who claimed that he did not drink due to a minor surgery prior to the event, drove the group.

Eyewitnesses from the bar say that A did not appear to them to be as drunk as she claimed. They said, “there are a lot of stairs here, so how can she have gone down if she was drunk? Park Shi Hoo escorted her so she wouldn’t fall.” The eyewitness, who claimed to be at the bar while Park Shi Hoo and the woman were drinking, said that Park Shi Hoo did not drink much. Park Shi Hoo has said publicly on multiple occasions that he has a low tolerance for alcohol.

Park Shi Hoo stands by his statement that the two parties shared mutual interests, and that nothing that happened that night was forced. The indicted actor also said that he is not embarrassed about what had happened, and said he will comply with the investigation truthfully while opening up about everything that happened.

There are two dominant stances amongst the netizens regarding the scandal. While one group claims that Park Shi Hoo is in the wrong no matter what for having a one-night-stand, the other group is claiming that this is all just a publicity stunt for the trainee to get some money and “fame.” What are your thoughts?

Park Shi Hoo's latest works are:
Cheongdamdong Alice (SBS, 2012) as Seung Jo
The Princess' Man (KBS, 2011) as Kim Seung Yu
Queen of Reversals (MBC, 2010) as Goo Yong Shik
