A 46-year-old suspect, Benjamin Bush, was arrested in September for giving naked pictures of himself to young children at the Santa Monica Pier. According to the Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD), Bush intentionally displayed a nude photograph of himself to three 9-year-old victims outside Pacific Park on September 18. He also showed the same photo to an unidentified juvenile victim inside Playland Arcade before the incident.
Bush, a resident of Rosamond, California, and a California Corrections employee, was arrested for two counts of child annoyance and distributing harmful material to minors. This is his first known criminal offense. The SMPD is now seeking public assistance in identifying any similar incidents involving Bush or those who may have information about the case.
If you have information about this person or investigation, please contact Detective Baker, Detective Sergeant Haro, or call 310-458-8427 between 24 hours a day for further guidance.
