During October of 2022, a juvenile reported to law enforcement that she was sexually assaulted multiple times by a known suspect. Thousand Oaks Police School Resource Officers (SRO’s) contacted the female juvenile. During the investigation, it was learned that there were possibly additional victims. Deputies and investigators contacted two additional victims, who reported that the suspect also assaulted them. Deputies identified Raul Garcia Gomez, a Thousand Oaks resident, as the suspect in the investigation. On December 12, 2022, a search warrant was approved for Garcia Gomez’ residence.
