"He faces more than 40 criminal charges, mostly felonies, accusing him of sexual assaulting, drugging and kidnapping men between 2018 and 2024. After Sarceno Orla was first arrested and charged in August 2024 with assaulting two men, he posted $250,000 bail and was a no-show at an Oct. 29 court hearing. Authorities, led by Mountain View police and the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office, later determined that he had fled the area."
"Police said Sarceno Orla arrived in the Bay Area on Thursday followings months of negotiations and coordination between local law enforcement, the U.S. Marshals service, the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Department of Justice and Guatemalan authorities. The charged assaults cover a timeline spanning January 2018 to July 2024, which was shortly before he was arrested. According to prosecutors and Mountain View police,"
