Additionally, the father is himself a registered sex offender.

The Contra Costa District Attorney's Office says it has not decided whether or not to press charges in the case.

In a statement to the East Bay Times, the boy's father said, "He's tall, dark and handsome, he plays for De La Salle, there's a lot of girls that want to be with my son. When young, fast girls see something they like, they go after it."
