More Victims Say They Were Assaulted by Orange County Dental Assistant

Nine families have come forward claiming their children have been sexually assaulted by an Orange County dental assistant since his arrest Wednesday.

Tommy Medina, 25, of Santa Ana, an employee at OC Kids Dental in Santa Ana, was arrested in connection with sexually assaulting two girls under 10 years old, one in 2013 and another in 2014, in a private room at the office, according police and prosecutors.

Medina's arraignment to face charges of oral copulation or sexual penetration with a child 10 years or younger was scheduled for Friday, but was postponed until Oct. 9.

If convicted, he could face 30 years to life in prison. He is jail with bail set at $1 million.

Authorities believe there are more victims because of Medina's tenure at the practice and encourage anyone with additional information or who believes they may have been a victim to contact the Santa Ana Police Department Family Crimes Unit at 714-245-8357.
