A Department of Homeland Security employee was charged Friday with molesting at least three girls in Irvine.
Terry Edward Keegan, 59, of Irvine, allegedly molested an 8-year-old girl who lived next door to the home he shared with his girlfriend and another young girl in 2011, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
Keegan also allegedly molested the young girl who lived in his home, as well as another girl who lived next door to another home Keegan moved to in 2015.
Keegan was arrested by Irvine Police Department officers on Wednesday and charged with three felony counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14, one felony count of continuous sexual abuse of a child, one misdemeanor count of annoying or molesting a child under the age of 18, and one misdemeanor count of touching an intimate part of another person, according to authorities.
Keegan faces a maximum sentence of 100 years to life in prison if convicted on all counts.
