Ventura Police Department – Incident Press Release
On March 4th at 3 PM the Ventura Police Department received a call from the victim’s mother reporting her 13-year-old daughter was the victim of lewd acts and child annoyance. An officer responded and took the initial report from the victim and her parents.
The victim told the officer that she was riding a Gold Coast public transit bus from Mills Rd. and Telegraph Rd to Johnson Dr and Telephone Rd. During the transport suspect, Ultreras was also on the bus and sat next to the victim. Ultreras engaged the victim in a conversation and tried to lure the victim to Oxnard. The victim got off the bus at her regular stop and began walking home when the suspect followed her and began to grab her hands. After several minutes of Ultreras holding the victim’s hands, the victim was able to pull away and run home.
This case was assigned to the Special Victims Unit, where an investigation revealed Ultreras was the suspect and was positively identified. Gold Coast Transit assisted SVU by providing video and audio from the bus that Ultreras and the victim were riding. Ultreras is currently on Parole for Lewd acts on a child with electronic monitoring and is a sex registrant.
On 3/31/20, SVU and Ultreras’ Parole Officer responded to his place of residence in the City of Oxnard and took Ultreras into custody. Ultreras was later booked at VCJ for 288(a)PC and a Parole Violation.
Follow up into this case is still ongoing. Anyone with information related to this incident is urged to call the Ventura Police Department at 805-339-4472.
