On Thursday, Nietoromo was arrested near Industrial Way and South Vasco Road in Livermore. He was subsequently booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail on suspicion of seven felonies, including sexual assault, lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, false imprisonment, and arranging and going to a meeting with a minor. Additionally, he faces four misdemeanor charges, including sending harmful material with intent to seduce a minor, arranging meetings with a minor, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Nietoromo is being held without bail.
The investigation is ongoing, with detectives identifying at least one additional alleged victim in San Jose. Police are urging anyone with relevant information or who may have been victimized to come forward.
