     The Ventura County District Attorney's Office has charged an Oxnard man with the continuous sexual abuse of a girl over several years.

     42-year-old Jesus Arteaga Gonzalez appeared in court Tuesday to face several charges and special allegations filed by prosecutors.

     He did not enter a plea and his arraignment was postponed until next month.

     Meanwhile, he is being held in the Ventura County Jail without bail.

     In March, Oxnard police learned from Santa Paula police about an 11-year-old female who had allegedly been sexually assaulted.

     Police say that their investigation revealed that the alleged sexual abuse had started when she was 8-years-old.

     They say during the investigation Arteaga Gonzalez fled but on April 6th law enforcement officers from several agencies descended on a home in the 1300 block of Cachuma Avenue in East Ventura where he was located and was taken into custody without incident.
