Oscar Mora of Carpinteria

symptoms times;”>On August 30th, 2014, officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to the 700 block of Forest Park Blvd in the City of Oxnard in reference to the possible sexual exploitation of a minor by an adult. An Oxnard resident reported that while reviewing her child’s mobile device, she discovered that her 12-year-old daughter had been involved in an online sexual conversation with a 23-year-old male adult.

After an extensive two-month investigation, investigators from the Oxnard Police Department’s Family Protection Unit arrested 23-year-old Oscar Mora of Carpinteria for numerous charges including traveling for the purposes of engaging a minor for sex, conspiracy to commit a crime, and child luring. He is currently in custody at the Ventura County Jail with bail set at $250,000.

Investigators have reason to believe that there may be other victims that have been contacted by Mora. Anyone with additional information should contact Detective Terrance Dobrosky at (805) 385-7609.

The Oxnard Police Department would like to remind parents of the importance of being diligent in monitoring the websites their children visit or the apps that they use on their phones or mobile devices. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (www.missingkids.com) has a myriad of resources available for parents that answer questions about internet safety, computers, and the web. We encourage you to check out those resources at www.netsmartz411.com.
