The Tustin Police Department is asking for additional victims to come forward after making an arrest in the case of the alleged sexual assault of a minor.

Authorities arrested Marco Castro in connection with the crime. The incident occurred in 2021. Police say a young victim was lured into Castro’s car in the 15700 block of Tustin Village Way.

When the minor entered the vehicle, police say Castro sexually assaulted the victim.

In December of last year, the victim was approached by Castro again. The minor then reported the 2021 incident to the police.
