Guzman allegedly met the first victim, then 5 years old, in 1995 when he was working as a house cleaner at the girl's Dove Canyon home. He is accused of sexually assaulted her multiple times while working in her family's home, the spokesman said.
The case was investigated, but the district attorney's office decided not to press charges then, said Dan Salcedo, an investigator with the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
More than a decade later, in February 2009, Guzman allegedly became acquainted with two girls, aged 9 and 10, when they visited his daughter at their Mission Viejo home, Salcedo said.
“They lived adjacent to him…. He wasn't a housekeeper in the case of the two girls,” he said.
Guzman is accused of sexually assaulting the older girl in his home on several occasions over the next two years.
Guzman also allegedly touched the younger girl's chest over her clothes on several occasions beginning in May 2009, prosecutors said.
The older girl reported the sexual assault to her mother, who notified police.
During the course of the investigation, detectives discovered that Guzman was named as a person of interest in the 1995 case, Salcedo said.
“What the investigators did was they re-interviewed the girl who was 5 years old at the time,” Salcedo said. “She reiterated the allegations that occurred way back when.”
“That case, coupled with the fresh case” prompted detectives to make the arrest, Salcedo said.
Guzman was being held in the Orange County jail on $1-million bail and was to be arraigned Monday in Santa Ana. |
