And on Tuesday, they arrested Gonzalo Delfino-Martinez of Auburn on a warrant. He is charged with committing lewd and lascivious acts with a minor under 14 years old. Delfino-Martinez is currently being held in Placer County jail on $100,000 bail.

There may be additional victims, according to the detectives; anyone with information is asked to contact the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.
