A San Diego County sheriff’s correctional deputy has been arrested and booked on multiple charges involving minors, Fox 5 San Diego reported.
According to the report, Jaylen, 27, was arrested by Chula Vista police on Wednesday and booked into the Vista Detention Center. He had worked for the department since 2015 and faces 15 charges in total, including child molestation, luring a minor and sending harmful material to a minor.
Fox 5 reported that police got two anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers and later learned two minors were involved. San Diego police assisted with the investigation, and the department said the alleged crimes had no connection to his employment.
The sheriff’s department said he was placed on administrative leave, adding in a news release, “The Sheriff’s Department takes allegations of illegal activity by its employees very seriously.” A spokesperson for the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office said the case is under review. He is expected to be arraigned on July 31, when formal charges will be announced.
These are allegations only, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. We will update this story as the case moves forward.
