A man was arrested Tuesday after authorities found probably cause for multiple counts of performing sexual acts with two children under the age of 10-years-old.

Deputies investigated the allegations of child sexual abuse and learned that the children told their mother that 46-year-old Francisco Delacruz Sanchez sexually assaulted them.

Francisco Sanchez of Lost Hills was arrested and booked into the Central Receiving Facility for several counts of sexual acts with children under 10-years-old and continuous sexual abuse of a child.

He is being held on $5,100,000 bail.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the Kern County Sheriff’s Office at 661-861-3110 or the Secret Witness at 661-322-4040.
