November 27, 2011 Nogales police officer charged with sex crimes www.privateofficer.com
Victor Jesus Valenzuela, 24, was taken into police custody Tuesday night, Santa Cruz County Attorney George Silva said.
The investigation began when a 17-year-old female student at Nogales High School told school officials that she had been in a romantic relationship with Valenzuela since she was 16-years-old, Silva said. The girl also reported that she and Valenzuela had lived together.
Even though the relationship was consensual, it is still against the law for an adult to have sexual relations with anyone under the age of 18, Silva said.
The girl told school officials about the relationship after she and Valenzuela broke up, Silva said.
Valenzuela was released from the Santa Cruz County Jail Wednesday.
