Former TV Reporter, Police Sergeant Arrested
Bernsen To Appear In Federal Court Tuesday

POSTED: 10:06 pm PDT October 9, 2006


LOS ANGELES -- Former KTTV-TV Channel 11 reporter Rod Bernsen was arrested by Long Beach police and the FBI in connection with allegations about inappropriate contact with a minor aboard a cruise ship, authorities said today.

A criminal complaint will be filed Tuesday morning in U.S. District Court against Bernsen, 58, a former Los Angeles Police Department sergeant.

Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the United States Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, said he could not say what Bernsen was booked for because the complaint hasn't been filed yet, but said he was arrested after coming off a cruise ship in Long Beach on Saturday.

Crimes committed on the high seas are dealt with by federal authorities.

Laura Eimiller of the FBI said Bernsen will make an initial appearance before a federal magistrate on Tuesday at 2 p.m. in the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building and Courthouse.
