Narrative:



On 06-25-10, deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department Ojai Valley Station responded to a report of an indecent exposure. The initial investigation revealed a male suspect had exposed himself to three children in the greenbelt area adjacent to Pegusas Street and Silver Spur Street, in Miramonte. The three female victims were ages 8, 12, and 12. The suspect also solicited one of the 12 year old victims during the indecent exposure. Independent witnesses saw the suspect get into a silver VW Jetta station wagon and leave the area.



The investigating deputy immediately radioed a suspect broadcast for the other deputies searching the area. Within minutes, deputies spotted the VW northbound on Ojai Avenue coming from the Miramonte area. Deputies confirmed the driver of the VW, Brandon Torres (age 26), was the same suspect from the Miramonte incident. Torres was arrested and later booked at the county jail for felony charges of Penal Code 314.1 / Indecent Exposure with a Prior Conviction and Penal Code 646.7 / Child Annoying with a Prior Conviction. Torres’ bail was set at 60,000.00.
