A teenager who turned himself in to police confessed to molesting some 50 children in recent  years across Southern California, authorities said.–

Eighteen-year-old Joseph Hayden Boston was brought to a Riverside police station on Saturday by his mother after he allegedly told her he had sexually assaulted two boys, ages 8 and 4, at a motel, called the Simply Home Inn & Suites, according to Riverside police spokesman Officer Ryan Railsback.

During an interview with investigators, Boston confessed to the motel assaults and also admitted molesting ‘upwards of 50 children’ since he was 10 years old, Railsback said in a statement.

The incidents happened in different cities where he had lived, including Riverside.

Boston was arrested on suspicion of two counts of oral copulation on a child under the age of 10 and jailed in lieu of $1 million bail, the statement said.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Boston had an attorney, and a publicly listed phone number for him couldn’t be located by The Associated Press on Sunday. Boston is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday…..more here
