Bay Area swimming instructor arrested on suspicion of kid sexual abuse

BERKELEY – A Bay Area swim instructor was arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing several young children, police said.

According to a Berkeley Police Department press release, detectives launched an investigation last week after parents raised concerns about 25-year-old Tyler Livingston's interactions with their children.

On Thursday, detectives executed search and arrest warrants at an address related to Livingston, who was eventually taken into custody in Emeryville without further incident.

Livingston has worked as a swimming instructor within the Bay Area for the past few years and could have also worked instead teacher for a time, in keeping with police.

“While investigations into these cases are ongoing, we are aware that there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward,” police said.

Police urged potential victims to contact the police department's child welfare unit at 510-981-5715.
