Man Arrested For Sex Act With Boy He Met on Grindr

The two allegedly met on the dating app and agreed to meet at a Fountain Valley park.

A man was arrested for allegedly soliciting and engaging in a sex act with a minor after police found him inside a parked car at a Fountain Valley park with a boy he had met on the dating app Grindr, police said Wednesday.

Shane Atilano Remollo, 40, of Huntington Beach, was found inside a parked gray 2010 Honda Civic at Harper Park just before 1 a.m. Tuesday morning, police said in a written statement.

Officers determined his companion was underage and Remollo is accused of engaging in oral sex with him.

The two reportedly met on the Grindr app, which is targeted to gay and bisexual men, and agreed to meet at the park.

The site’s terms of service prohibit anyone under the age of 18 from opening a profile account.

Remollo was booked at the Orange County jail and held in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Police are asking any other potential victims to contact Detective Scott with the Fountain Valley Police Department at 714-593-4480.
