A member of the military has been taken into custody for allegedly committing sexual assault at a recruitment center in Sunnyvale.

On Tuesday, authorities took into custody a Marine Corps recruiter who was currently on duty, on allegations of sexually assaulting a teenage girl at a recruiting center in Sunnyvale. The incident had caused quite a stir in the community, with many expressing shock and concern over the safety of young individuals who attend such recruiting events.

The suspect, who has been identified as Jorge Lara-Pedroza, had apparently met the 17-year-old victim at a recruiting event held at her school just a week prior to the incident. According to a news release by the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety, the victim had then agreed to meet the suspect at the Marine Corps recruiting center on Monday to learn more about the military branch.

However, what should have been a simple informational meeting turned into a traumatic experience for the victim. Authorities say that during the meeting, the suspect sexually assaulted the girl, leaving her shaken and traumatized. It was not until the victim bravely came forward and reported the incident that the suspect was arrested on Tuesday.

The suspect has been charged with multiple offenses, including oral copulation, penetration with a foreign object, and arranging to meet a minor with the intent of engaging in sexual conduct. He has been booked into Santa Clara County jail and the case is currently under investigation. The community is urged to come forward with any information they may have related to the case by contacting Detective C. Bishop at 408-730-7110.
