MURRIETA — A Menifee policeman previously accused of sexually assaulting two women while on- and off-duty is now charged with victimizing a total of five women.
Juan Jose Pesina Jr., 32, of Murrieta, was arrested last month following an investigation by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Unit.
On Monday, the District Attorney’s Office filed additional charges stemming from recent findings tied to the ongoing investigation.
The amended complaint resulted in four more sexual battery counts, along with two counts of extortion and one count of acceptance of a bribe.
The defendant allegedly accessed the first victim’s property illegally and perpetrated multiple sexual offenses over an unspecified period, according to the prosecution.
