Illegal Guilty of Molesting Boy

(San Diego, California) A 30-year-old illegal alien, Jesus Mora Nava, pleaded guilty yesterday to charges of lewd and lascivious acts with a child related to the molestation of a 13-year-old boy.

Nava, who is from Mexico, was arrested July 17 in Poway, the same day he befriended the boy and assaulted him, said prosecutor Dino Paraskevopoulos. Nava gave the boy alcohol and took him to an encampment in a wooded area, Paraskevopoulos said

A sheriff's helicopter with a heat-seeking sensor was used to find Nava after the boy reported the assault to a Poway man who was jogging in the area.

Nava also pleaded guilty to using fake documentation to hide his lack of citizenship.

Sentencing is scheduled for January 3rd when Nava faces a possible 16 years in prison and deportation.
