MARINA, California (KSBW) — Marina police say a man was extradited from Texas to face charges relating to multiple alleged sexual assaults of underage victims.
A complaint was initially filed against 65-year-old Jose Guadalupe Reyes back in October, but police say that Reyes had moved to Texas before an arrest warrant was obtained.
With the help of the U.S. Marshals Service, Reyes was tracked down and taken into custody in Dallas, Texas, on Nov. 26.
He was extradited and booked into Monterey County Jail on Tuesday, according to Marina police.
He was charged with 16 felony counts against four female victims, including forcible lewd acts on a child, lewd acts on a child, and aggravated sexual assault of a child, according to the criminal complaint linked below.
The alleged sexual assaults occurred over several years, from 1996 to 2011, according to the criminal complaint.
All the victims were under the age of 18, and some were under the age of 14, per police.
His bail was set at $4,520,000, per the Monterey County Jail log.
Reyes was arraigned on Wednesday and entered a not guilty plea, per Monterey County Superior Court records.
