CLEARLAKE, Calif. – An Oakland man has been arrested in connection with an alleged kidnap and rape of a 22-year-old Clearlake woman.
Luis Antonio Calvillo, 22, faces felony charges of kidnapping, rape and other sexual assault charges, according to Capt. James Bauman of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Bauman said the sheriff's office responded to the alleged victim’s home in Clearlake late Saturday night, where she told deputies she had just been returned from a labor camp in Kelseyville where she had been held against her will and sexually assaulted.
The alleged victim reported that on Nov. 19 at about 4:30 p.m., a friend of hers – 32-year-old Julio Cesar Lopez of Clearlake – asked her to accompany him to Kelseyville to pick up a car he had bought so she could drive the car back to Clearlake for him, Bauman said.
Bauman said the woman said she agreed to go and left with Lopez to get the car at what was referred to as a “labor camp” on Sylar Lane in Kelseyville.
After arriving at the labor camp, Lopez told the woman he had to drive to Lakeport and he left her there with several other unidentified men, Bauman said.
The woman said she voluntarily went into a dwelling on the property to smoke some marijuana with the three men while waiting for Lopez to return, according to Bauman's report.
Bauman said that at least one of the men in the dwelling began asking the victim for sexual favors and when she attempted to leave the room, the men stood in the only doorway out and blocked her from exiting.
The alleged victim was reportedly held at the camp against her will throughout the night and into the next day, Bauman said.
During her alleged captivity, she was allegedly molested by one or more of the men and raped by at least one of them, according to Bauman.
Bauman said one of the men drove her to a Kelseyville gas station the following day and from there, she managed to get a ride to her home in Clearlake, where she then notified the sheriff’s department.
Deputies worked the case throughout Saturday night and into Sunday morning, when detectives were called in to assist with the investigation and secure a search warrant for the labor camp, Bauman said.
During the search warrant service, Calvillo was found at the camp and identified as one of the suspects, Bauman said. Calvillo was booked at the Lake County Jail with a $250,000 bail and an immigration hold.
Bauman said the identities and anticipated arrests of other suspects in the case are pending further investigation.
