STAR, Idaho — Jorge Perez, a 65-year-old man from Star was arrested for lewd conduct with a pre-teen on July, 7. Ada County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) detectives are now voicing concern that they think there may be other victims.

After further interrogation of Perez, detectives found evidence that he was also having sexual contact with three more children over the past eight years. According to police, some of the activity also happened in California.
