The suspect, who was a classroom aide at the time, was sharing inappropriate messaging and conversations with the survivor.<\/p>\n<p>The SJPD Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force began a comprehensive investigation and identified the suspect as Heriberto Plascencia. During the investigation, Detectives also identified a second juvenile survivor who came forward to report that she was also victimized by Suspect Plascencia. Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for the suspect and a search warrant for his associated residence.<\/p>\n<p>On May 21, 2026, with the assistance of the SJPD Human Trafficking Task Force and SJPD Megan\u2019s Law Detail, Detectives\u00a0located and arrested Suspect Plascencia in the city of San Jos\u00e9. <\/p>\n<p>The suspect was booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail for sending harmful materials to a minor and for annoying or molesting a minor. <\/p>\n<p>Due to Suspect Plascencia\u2019s position of trust, Detectives believe there may be additional victims.
