Jacobo Reyes (Santa Ana Police Dept.) |
SANTA ANA -- Police have arrested a 47-year-old man on suspicion of molesting an 11-year-old girl in her bedroom in Santa Ana.
Jacobo Reyes was arrested Monday and is being held without bail, according to Cpl. Anthony Bertanga.
Santa Ana investigators linked him to the crime with DNA evidence, Bertagna said.
Investigators asked Reyes to come in for questioning about the Feb. 11 attack in the 300 block of South Newhope Street.
They arrested him after he confessed to fondling up to five other girls and women ages 11 to 22 as they slept, Bertagna said.
In the Feb. 11 attack, police say Reyes climbed into the girl's bedroom, gaining entry by removing a screen in an unlocked window.
The girl could not describe her attacker because it was too dark, but he left behind genetic material that matched Reyes' DNA, Bertagna said.
Reyes was booked on suspicion of felony assault to commit rape and burglary.
Prosecutors are reviewing the case and have not yet charged him.
