Chuck E Cheese Attacker Strikes Again, Victims Say

Two separate attacks are connected to the same teenage boy, victims say.

Two victims of a teenaged attacker in Murrieta are fearful he may strike again, according to a news report.

The boy, whose name has been kept confidential because he is a minor, was sentenced to time served when he pleaded guilty to the Feb. 2, 2011, brutal attack in the restroom at Chuck E Cheese in Murrieta, The Press-Enterprise reported.

Menifee resident Nora Reynoso was in the women's restroom at the pizza restaurant when she says the teen, then 16, entered, threw her to the ground and began assaulting her.
