Flores, of Granada Hills, was arrested on Dec. 21 and pleaded not guilty to one count of false imprisonment and one count of an attempted lewd act on a child, The Times reported. He was later released on $150,000 bail.

“We are surprised and outraged that for the first time in the history of our rink one of our employees was being inappropriate with a customer by touching his feet,” the Flemings said. “With close to 10,000 quality part-time employees having worked at Skateland since 1958, this one employee situation is an isolated incident.”
