Shamanistic Leader Arrested for Child Sexual Assault

Ricardo Isaac Flores, a 59-year-old identified as the leader of a shamanistic community in Riverside County, has been arrested on multiple charges of child sexual assault. The investigation began when several victims reported incidents at a residence in Moreno Valley, with further probes revealing assaults occurred at various locations throughout the county. Flores was apprehended at the U.S. border as he returned from Mexico and booked at the Robert Presley Detention Center. Authorities believe there may be additional victims due to Flores' status and access within the community and urge anyone with information to come forward.
