Sonoma Co. Man Suspected Of Sex With Minor

SANTA ROSA, CA -- Santa Rosa police arrested a Rohnert Park man Thursday on suspicion of having sex with a minor, a police sergeant said. Laiken Tully James, 21, was prohibited from using social media and required to stay away from minors as part of his pre-trial supervision in a pending sex with a minor and pimping case, Sgt. Terry Anderson said.

A police detective learned on April 4 that James recently may have been sexually involved with a juvenile who was reported as a runaway, Anderson said.

The detective's investigation that included searching social media and cellphone records found evidence of James' interactions with the runaway juvenile, Anderson said.

James was interviewed Thursday and arrested and booked in the county jail on suspicion of two counts of sexual intercourse with a minor three or more years younger. His bail in both cases is $200,000, Anderson
said.

James is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges Monday in Sonoma County Superior Court.

Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to call the Police Department's domestic violence and sexual assault tip line at (707) 543-4040.
