Detectives say they’ve arrested a Ventura County man who was a sexual predator targeting teenage girls.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office began investigating Raul Garcia Gomez of Thousand Oaks in October, after a teenage girl told a school resource officer she had been sexually assaulted. Sheriff’s detectives say they identified three victims, but think they may be more.

The 24-year-old man was arrested on multiple felony charges ranging from kidnapping to sexual assault.
