Lewd Acts with Children 

September 21, 2025 – Riverside County Sheriff's Office officials report that in September 2024, the Riverside Sheriff’s San Jacinto Station began investigating Antoine Christopher Sims, a 31-year-old employee at a licensed residential treatment facility for minors located in the city of San Jacinto. The investigation was initiated following allegations of inappropriate contact between Sims and juvenile residents under his care.

Over the course of the investigation, detectives identified multiple victims and uncovered a pattern of predatory behavior involving grooming, inappropriate communication, and unlawful sexual contact.

On Thursday, September 18, 2025, Sims was located near the intersection of Sycamore Canyon Lane and Bachelor Peak Street in Winchester. He was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility on multiple felony charges, including lewd acts with a child and oral copulation with a minor under the age of 16.

This remains an active and ongoing investigation. Due to the sensitive nature of the case and the involvement of juvenile victims, no further details will be released at this time.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office believes there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward. Anyone with information related to this investigation is encouraged to contact Investigator D. Hollingsworth at the San Jacinto Station at (951) 654-2702 or Riverside Sheriff’s Dispatch at (951) 776-1099.
