West Valley City police have arrested a man accused of sexually assaulting a young boy in a Burger King bathroom.

The 7-year-old boy was assaulted on Aug. 15 by a man allegedly waiting in the bathroom at the restaurant, located at 5600 West and 3500 South. He was with his mother and sibling when he left to use the restroom, then came back out and told his mother about the attack, police said.

Officers searched nearby businesses for clear surveillance video of the man, and released it Thursday. Dozens of tips came in, and police arrested 44-year-old Jorge D. Gutierrez of West Valley City later the same day, said Lt. Bill Merritt. He was booked on suspicion of child kidnapping and sodomy on a child.

A search of court records did not show a criminal history for Gutierrez.
