AI-generated summary of the article
Meet Salvador Armando Arriaga, a 32-year-old behavioral therapist, who found himself in a compromising position—literally—in a 14-year-old's walk-in closet from the sunny U.S. state of California.
According to a report by the New York Post, an ordinary day took an extraordinary turn when the boy's father, at home with another child, decided to check on his son during a session with Arriaga.
Trusting Arriaga, having treated his son multiple times, the father was taken aback when he opened the door and found the 32-year-old in the semi-nude in the closet[1][3][5].

Upon confrontation, Arriaga, initially, attempted to flee through a window, but his escape plan wasn't foolproof. Instead, he fled through the door, leading the father to contact the police, who eventually apprehended the suspect[1].
Surprisingly, Arriaga returned later to discuss with the officers, asserting he was merely changing his shirt[1].
Arriaga pleaded not guilty to charges of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child under 14. If convicted, he faces a hefty 25 years to life in prison[1][2][4]. His legal representative, Jacqueline Goodman, emphasizes Arriaga's entitlement to a fair trial, with the presumption of innocence[1].
The case is still under investigation, with the Garden Grove Police Department soliciting extra information from potential witnesses or other potential victims[1].
