Santa Barbara Sheriff's Detectives Believe There May Be Additional Victims
A 37-year-old Carpinteria resident was arrested for several felony violations involving sexual acts with a child under the age of 10, following an “extensive confidential criminal investigation” by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, according to a statement released by Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Raquel Zick on Monday.
Luis Antonio Ibarra Delgadillo, also known as Anthony Ibarra, was arrested without incident by Sheriff’s Office detectives on Thursday, March 9, and booked into the county’s Main Jail, where he is currently being held without bail.
