Oxnard Police raided a home after a tip from an anonymous caller that a 15-year-old girl was forced to perform sexual acts with older men.
Rolando Navarette, 34, and Graciela Vasquez, 23, were found in the house and taken into custody for the alleged charges of forcing a girl into prostitution. 10 other children were also found in the North Harrison Avenue home ranging from 5 months to 13 years old. These children were turned over to protective services for the time being.
Apparently Vasquez had given a ride to the victim to the house, but their relationship is still unclear. For the full story, click here.
