About

 * The police report says the victim, who is now 16 years old, alleges that Navarrete first molested him when he was 12 or 13 by touching the child’s penis while he was sleeping. In incidents that occurred over several years, he told police that Navarrete would lie down in bed next to the sleeping boy and touch his genitals under his clothes, sometimes performing oral sex on the boy. In one instance, the boy recalled Navarrete telling him, “Oh I shouldn’t be doing this, this is wrong,” before continuing to allegedly molest the child. The probable cause statement says the boy called Navarrete Thursday afternoon and asked the state lawmaker “if he regrets touching him.” “Otoniel responded by saying of course I regret any bad actions that I did, absolutely wishing everything could be different,” Quezada wrote. He noted that Navarrete “told the victim he wasn’t well” and that “he is regretful and not happy for his actions (and) having to live with them for the rest of his life.” He is also alleged to have attempted to have sexual contact with the victim’s younger brother, who is now 13 years old.
