LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Sheriff's deputies arrested a Lower Lake man Saturday for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl.


Bryan Keith Hurtado-Stratton, 20, was arrested shortly before 1 p.m., which was approximately one hour after he reportedly raped the girl in a bathroom at the Lower Lake Community Park, according to a report from Capt. James Bauman.


Bauman said that at about 12:15 p.m. sheriff's dispatch received a report that a white male adult had been caught raping a 13-year-old girl.


Sheriff’s dispatch additionally was told the brother of the victim was chasing the suspect, Bauman said.


Within minutes of the call sheriff’s deputies were in the area, Bauman said. They were assisted by a game warden from the Department of Fish and Game and California Highway Patrol Officers who arrived to help search for the suspect.


Sheriff’s deputies rapidly developed information that identified Hurtado-Stratton as the suspect. They determined he was on searchable probation and lived several blocks from the incident, and Bauman said deputies subsequently went to Hurtado-Stratton's home and arrested him.


Bauman said sheriff’s detectives and the Sheriff’s Crime Scene Investigations Unit were called in to assist with the investigation, collection of evidence and processing of the crime scene. Sheriff’s detectives secured and served a search warrant on Hurtado-Stratton’s home where they collected additional evidence.


Hurtado-Stratton has been charged with rape by force, unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, sexual penetration with force, sexual battery and lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 14 years of age, according to Bauman.


Sheriff’s detectives sought and secured a bail enhancement, and Bauman said Hurtado-Stratton was booked at the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility and is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.
