GRAND TERRACE Man arrested in molestation case

A man who identified himself as a chaplain in sheriff's booking logs has been arrested in connection with the molestation of a relative when she was 12 years old, police said Friday.
Dennis Craig Hackett, 49, of Grand Terrace was arrested about 3:30 p.m. Thursday at his home and booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, where he was being held Friday in lieu of $250,000 bail.

On Tuesday, Hackett's alleged victim, now 19, went to the Colton Police Department and reported her uncle molested her repeatedly when she was 12 at locations in Colton and Grand Terrace, said Colton police Lt. Mark Owens.

It was unclear Friday where Hackett was employed, or if he was affiliated with a church.
A woman who answered the phone at his home Friday declined to comment.

Police will present the case to the District Attorney's Office on Monday, Owens said.
