MPs: Soledad man arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and raping a drugged victim in 2021.

KING CITY, Calif. (KION-TV) — The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office said they arrested a man Monday for alleged drug use and rape of a victim in May 2021.

On May 15, 2021 at 5:09 am, investigators responded to Natividad Medical Center on reports of a possible victim who was drugged and sexually assaulted. The incident allegedly took place at a remote location in an unincorporated area outside of Gonzalez.

Investigators had good reason to believe that the suspect was 21-year-old Uri Deleon Carcamo from Soledad. Detectives then obtained several search warrants from a Monterey County Superior Court judge.

Around 2 p.m. Monday, detectives arrested Deleon Carcamo at the 300 block of Canal Street in King City. According to the deputies, he had a loaded firearm hidden.

Detectives then searched Deleon Carcamo’s home in the 500th block of Ortiz Circle in Soledad.

He was arrested and jailed in the Monterey County Jail for rape, kidnapping to commit rape and other charges, deputies said. His bail is set at $1,100,000.

MPs told KION they would not disclose the sex and age of the victim at this time due to privacy concerns.

The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office believes there may be additional casualties. If you have more information, please contact them at 831-755-3700.
