Sexual Exploitation of a Child

On May 31^st, 2016, at 10 am, the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home off of Capella Drive in Diamond Springs for a report of an assault with a deadly weapon, with the victim being a girl under the age of 14 years old, and the suspect being an older male relative.

Upon arrival, Deputies quickly determined that a resident at this location, 33 year old Luis Javier Calderon, had allegedly took a knife from the kitchen and went into a bedroom where the young girl was sleeping.  Calderon woke the girl up by holding the knife to the child’s neck.  Calderon had the girl stand, and made the girl remove all of her clothing.  Calderon then photographed the child and threatened to harm the child if she said anything.  Calderon then fled the house.  The child immediately contacted her mother, who called 911.

Several Deputies immediately began searching the area for Calderon.  While the search was underway, Calderon called 911 from a business in the area stating he was being chased by unknown people.  Deputies responded to the business and detained Calderon.

Detectives were called out to assist and after completing their initial investigation, Calderon was arrested on charges of Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Burglary, and Sexual Exploitation of a Child.  At this time, Calderon remains in custody.

Search and Rescue Operation for Missing Cameron Park Teenager

On May 29^th at 12:08 pm, The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a missing hiker in the Bucks Bar area, near the North Fork of the Cosumnes River in an area known as the Cosumnes River Gorge.  The teen, a 15 year old boy from Cameron Park, was hiking in the area with family and became separated from the group and was last seen near the river.

The Sheriff’s Office spent several hours searching for the boy, utilizing CHP air resources, Pioneer Fire District personnel, El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue ground search teams and swift water search teams.  The search was suspended due to darkness and treacherous water conditions due to high water from snow runoff.

Today, the search was expanded utilizing the Sheriff’s Office Dive team.  After searching the area of the river where the teen was last seen, the search has been suspended pending improved search conditions.  At the family’s request, we are not identifying the missing teen.

Any further updates will be posted when available.
