A 29-year-old San Luis Obispo County man was arrested late last week for breaking into a home and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl, according to police.

Police said on Sept. 20, Sosimo Gonzalez De Jesus broke into a San Luis Obispo girl's home through a window and took her from her bed to a bathroom where he sexually assaulted her.

Police said the girl was "known to the suspect," although they did not say how exactly. Police did not release the location of the incident in San Luis Obispo.

Detectives posed as the victim through a smartphone communications app and took the suspect into custody at El Chorro Regional Park on Friday, Oct. 4 without incident, according to a police press release.

He is in San Luis Obispo County Jail facing several charges, including rape of a minor under 14, kidnapping, burglary with intent to commit sexual assault, and lewd acts with a child, among others.

He is in custody with no bail.
