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