| Narrative: | |||||
| Acting on information from a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NECMEC) and prior information related to a sexual assault investigation, detectives identified Vicente Jasso Jr. as a suspect in a child pornography case. Jasso is a resident of the unincorporated area of Oxnard, known as El Rio. During the investigation, detectives determined Jasso created a false persona, “Daniel Trabremoh.” Jasso used the persona to interact with young females on social media sites. It is believed Jasso created the Daniel Trabremoh persona to “catfish” unknowing young females and solicit them into doing explicit things on videos or images for his sexual pleasure. Jasso recorded these encounters without their knowledge or consent, creating Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). The term catfish is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as, “A person who sets up a false personal profile on a social networking site for fraudulent or deceptive purposes.” On October 17, 2023, Jasso was contacted at his residence and arrested for multiple charges related to this case. Jasso was subsequently booked into the Ventura County Pre-Trial Detention Facility and is currently being held on $150,000 bail pending his arraignment. This investigation is ongoing. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office believes there could be additional victims. If you have any information regarding Vicente Jasso Jr or “Daniel Trabremoh,” please contact Detective Rosalio Cobian of the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit at 805-384-4723. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) serves as an information clearinghouse and national resource center on issues related to victims, missing and exploited children and operates a national toll-free hotline. NCMEC works with families, victims, private industry, law enforcement, and the public to assist with preventing child abductions, recovering missing children, and providing services to deter and combat child sexual exploitation. The Los Angeles ICAC Task Force is spearheaded by the LAPD with 63 federal and local affiliate agencies that detect and investigate child predators that use the internet as a means to contact children or deal in child pornography. The ICAC Program helps state and local law enforcement agencies develop an effective response to technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and Internet crimes against children. Supervised by the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, the High-Tech Task Force is made up of investigators from the District Attorney’s Office, deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, and civilian computer forensic examiners. The unit provides highly technical computer forensic support for law enforcement agencies which includes assisting in preserving electronic evidence in the field and performing forensic examinations of digital evidence in a lab environment. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind parents to remain vigilant as to their children’s social media and Internet activities to keep them safe from predators and that there are resources that can assist them in keeping their children safe by teaching them about internet safety. The best tool we have to prevent Internet crimes against children is education. The Los Angeles Regional Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force offers information and resources to parents, educators and child serving professionals to help everyone #StartTheConversation about technology safety.
