The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office arrested a man in connection with several sex crimes.
Miguel Mendez-Marin, 21, was arrested on suspicion of rape, sodomy of a minor under 16, sex with a minor under 16 and obstructing and/or resisting an officer, officials said.
They also said detectives launched a sexual assault investigation in May when they learned that Mendez-Marin had been involved in a romantic relationship with a 14-year-old boy in September and October 2020.
Agents said Mendez-Marin had unlawful sexual intercourse with the minor and forcibly raped the victim against her will in a separate incident.
On Wednesday, detectives attempted to arrest Mendez-Marin at his home in San Mateo, but he resisted. He was eventually arrested and jailed.
