A Salinas man has been arrested for alleged child molestation. The incident took place at a restaurant on the 900 block of South Main Street, shortly after 6 p-m on Wednesday. Police say that a special needs juvenile told his parents he had been sexually assaulted in the bathroom. One of the parents followed the alleged assailant to his vehicle while alerting police. Patrol officers stopped 40 year old James Torfason nearby. A records check showed that Torfason was on parole for a similar offense and he was booked into Monterey County Jail.
