2:30pm | The Associated Press and other outlets have reported that 63-year old Claude Edward Foulk, the suspect arrested Tuesday in a child molestation case, is the executive director of a Northern California mental hospital. 

Foulk was fired from his position upon news that he allegedly molested a former foster child, now a grown man in his 40’s. Since that news broke, another grown man formerly a child in Foulk’s care has come forward with similar allegations. Police said on Wednesday that at least five victims had been molested.

Foulk faces 35 counts of Lewd and Lascivious Acts with a Child and will be arraigned Friday in Long Beach Superior Court.

1:30pm Wednesday | Long Beach detectives believe they’ve closed the book on a 35-year old child molestation case with the arrest of 63-year old Claude Edward Foulk, the Police Department said today in a statement.

Detectives began investigating the case in September 2009, and arrested Foulk in Napa yesterday on a $3.5 million warrant for 35 counts of Lewd and Lascivious Acts with a Child.
