| Narrative: |
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. Members from the Thousand Oaks Major Crimes Sexual Assault Unit, Thousand Oaks Intelligence Led Policing Unit, and Thousand Oaks Investigations Unit executed a search warrant at the suspect’s residence. Garcia Gomez was ultimately contacted during the search warrant service and arrested.
Garcia Gomez was booked at the Ventura County Pre-Trial Detention Facility on the following charges: (3) counts 288 (b)(1) PC Felony Forcible Lewd Act Upon a Child, (2) counts 288.7(b) PC Felony Unlawful Act with a Child 10 Years Old and Under, (2) counts 288(a) PC Felony Lewd Act Upon a Child and 207(b) PC Felony Kidnapping for Child Molesting.
Garcia Gomez is currently in custody and is held on no bail.
