Child Molestation Suspect Arrest: California School For The Deaf

FREMONT, CA — A counselor at the California School for the Deaf in Fremont has been arrested for alleged child molestation, and investigators believe there may be more victims. Ricardo Tafolla Rose, 56, was taken into custody last Friday on charges of child molestation and making criminal threats.

The California School for the Deaf educates children from all over Northern California. Right now, one alleged victim has been identified. The CHP, the investigating agency in the case, is asking residents to share this story widely in an attempt to identify more possible victims. Rose has been employed by the state of California since 1989, nearly 30 years, so there could be victims dating back decades.

Rose is currently on paid administrative leave pending further investigation.

The case is being investigated by the Special Investigations Unit of the Golden Gate Division of the California Highway Patrol. If you have information on Ricardo Rose, call 1-800-TELL-CHP (1-800-835-5247).

The California State Police merged into the CHP in 1995.
