(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – A multi-agency, Yuba County based pedophile sting operation has resulted in the arrests of 14 alleged sex offenders. That includes Timothy Bond, Roberto Orocio and Joshua Norberg of Yuba City, along with Steven Cherms and Kevin Gipson of Oroville.

A Yuba City Police detective tells The Appeal-Democrat that over the course of three days last month, local law enforcement officials and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force out of Sacramento, set up operations inside the Comfort Inn Suites in Linda. There, “approximately twenty undercover chatters took to various social media platforms, posing as minors under 13, luring sex offenders in for arrest.”
