California and Nevada arrests in child sexual abuse cases

San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s detectives arrested 67‑year‑old Javier Rivera‑Mojica in Shandon, California, on charges of multiple lewd and lascivious acts with children under 14. Rivera‑Mojica allegedly ran an unlicensed daycare from his home and is being held without bail while investigators seek additional victims.

Lyon County Sheriff’s Office arrested 40‑year‑old Shaun Sanchez, a former teacher at Dayton Elementary School in Nevada, on three counts of lewdness with a child under 14. The arrest followed an investigation that identified two former students who reported abuse. Sanchez was booked into Lyon County Jail with bail set at $300,000. Both cases remain active, and authorities are offering support services to the victims.
