Gonzalez appeared in court Tuesday, pleading not guilty. His preliminary hearing is set for February 26.
ORIGINAL STORY: A Seaside man accused of molesting seven children at his wife’s “home daycare” in Seaside is in custody after he fled to El Salvador, according to police.
According to Seaside Police, Juan Francisco Gonzalez fled several months ago when he figured out he was being investigated.
A $3 million warrant was issued for his arrest. After investigators determined Gonzalez fled to El Salvador, they learned Gonzalez came back to Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Police was able to arrest Gonzalez on January 27. Gonzalez will be transported to the Monterey County Jail and will be held on $3,300,000 bail.
