A 35-year-old man suspected of sexually assaulting a Lake Elsinore girl multiple times was charged today with a dozen felony offenses. Martin Ancamil of Lake Elsinore was arrested Monday following a weeks- long Riverside County Sheriff’s Department investigation.
Ancamil is charged with six counts of forcible lewd acts on a minor, three counts of forced sexual penetration and one count each oral copulation of a minor, aggravated sexual assault of a child and assault with intent to commit mayhem, as well as sentence- enhancing allegations of inflicting injuries, targeting a vulnerable victim and exploiting a position of trust.
The defendant is being held without bail at the Byrd Detention Center and was slated to make his initial court appearance Wednesday afternoon at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta.
According to sheriff’s Sgt. Jeff Reese, deputies were alerted last month to a possible “sexual assault on a minor,” prompting an investigation at a residence on Cambern Avenue. Detectives obtained sufficient evidence to procure a warrant for Ancamil’s arrest, and he was taken into custody without incident. Court documents allege that the defendant began abusing the girl, identified only as “Jane Doe,” in November 2017. The circumstances behind the alleged acts and Ancamil’s specific connection to the victim were not disclosed. He has no documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.
