Lake Elsinore Deputies Arrest Man Accused Of Child Sexual Assault

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — A man suspected of sexually assaulting two minors was behind bars, following his arrest Friday by Lake Elsinore Sheriff's Station deputies.

Emilio Esteban Ronquillo, 20, of Riverside was booked into Cois Byrd Detention Center on suspicion of multiple felony sexual assault charges with a minor and committing a felony while out on bail, according to the sheriff's department.

The arrest was sparked after a juvenile came forward in January with claims of sexual assault by Ronquillo, according to the sheriff's department.

Ronquillo's latest arrest follows a separate investigation into him that began in December when Lake Elsinore deputies received a call about a runaway juvenile.

Ronquillo was suspected by investigators of harboring the minor for two days before returning the teen home. He was arrested and charged with two counts of oral copulation with a child under 18 and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He pleaded not guilty to all.

At the time of Friday's arrest, court records show Ronquillo was free on $10,000 bail and was due in court March 18 for a felony settlement conference tied to the alleged December incident.
