King City man Arrested for Sexual Battery and Assault of a Minor

On Friday, January 29 officers from the King City Police Department responded to a report of a juvenile victim who said she had been sexually assaulted by an elder Hispanic male. The victim said she was walking on the 400 block of North Vanderhurst Avenue when an elder Hispanic male approached her and began to speak with her. The Hispanic male attempted to obtain identifying personal information from the victim. When the victim attempted to end the interaction with the Hispanic male, he began to hug her and then inappropriately touched an intimate part of her body. The Hispanic male walked away, but was later located by officers who conducted an in-field identification which positively identified the Hispanic male as the male who had sexually battered the victim. The Hispanic male was identified as 70-year-old Jose Perez Cardenas of King City, CA. The male was subsequently arrested for violating California Penal Code 243.4 and booked into the Monterey County Jail. Currently this investigation is ongoing. The King City Police Department is requesting any member of the community who has information regarding this incident to please contact Sgt. Joshue Partida at 831-386-5988.
