Inland Religious Leader Charged with Sexually Assaulting Kids
Published By admin with Comments 0
The shaman of an Inland Empire religious sect who is accused of sexually assaulting several young girls was charged Friday with forcible rape and more than a half-dozen other felony counts.
Ricardo Isaac Flores, 59, of Rialto was arrested Wednesday following a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department investigation that began last week.
Along with rape, Flores is charged with two counts each of lewd acts on a child and penetration of a minor under duress or fear, as well as one count each of penetration with a foreign object and aggravated sexual assault of a child, with sentence-enhancing allegations of targeting multiple victims in a sex crime.
The defendant, who is being held without bail at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning, was slated to make his initial court appearance Friday afternoon at the Riverside Hall of Justice.
