TACOMA, Wash. - Tacoma police have arrested a 41-year-old man in connection to an ongoing investigation into the sexual abuse of a minor.
Timeline:
Officers were first dispatched to a report of the sexual abuse of a minor in December 2024.
Through an investigation, detectives were able to develop probable cause to arrest 41-year-old Jose Orrego.
On March 5, police and SWAT served a search warrant at a home near South I Street and South 25th Street, in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood, and arrested Orrego.
He was booked into jail on two counts of first-degree rape of a child.
The victim in the case was just 11 years old at the time.
Investigators say the victim told her stepmom that she was raped twice, and that Orrego would "constantly look for her."
Orrego's bail is set at $500,000.
