John Krueger is accused of molesting four adopted boys form Ukraine

John Krueger, 53, is charged with molesting four boys, ages 7 to 11. He adopted three and another was adopted by an acquaintance, Bakersfield police said.

In December, the police learned that one of the boys had been molested and began investigating, Detective Ryan Paslay said.

But Krueger's lawyer said his client is innocent.

"When the statements of the kids come out there's a lot of contradictory statements between the children and the allegations are totally baseless," Gregory Mitts said.

Two prior molestation allegations were made against Krueger in 1991 and 1996, according to court documents.

He is out on bail and is scheduled to appear in court this week.
