The United States Marshals Service led Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force located and arrested a man wanted for nine local felony child sex abuse charges in White City Monday.
The suspect, Jose Francisco Gonzalez-Castaneda, 40, of Medford, had a warrant with nine sexual abuse charges. He was lodged in the Jackson County Jail. Federal authorities added additional charges after Gonzalez-Castaneda was lodged.
The arrest came when U.S. Marshals, along with Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and Central Point Police Department detectives located Gonzalez-Castaneda at a White City shopping center in the 7500 block of Highway 62. The task force arrested him without incident.
The charges stemmed from a years-long investigation by JCSO Special Victims Unit detectives.
