Kings County sheriff deputies were dispatched to the Stratford Branch Library on June 5 to meet with a confidential victim regarding an unwanted subject at the victim’s house.

Upon the deputies' arrival, the victim disclosed an ex-boyfriend, Mario Ramos Gonzales, was at the victim’s house that prior day, violating a criminal protective order from a prior domestic violence incident. 

Later in the evening, Gonzales became upset with the victim and forced the victim into a bedroom where the victim was sexually assaulted.  Gonzales prevented the victim from leaving overnight.  The next morning the victim convinced the suspect, Gonzales, to let her visit the store.  The victim called the Sheriff’s Office to report the incident.

Kings County Sheriff Detectives responded to assist in the investigation.

Deputies arrived at the victim’s house to locate Mario, but he was no longer there.  Deputies searched for Mario around Stratford and learned that he might have secured a ride to the Tachi Palace Casino in Lemoore. 

Deputies arrived at the Tachi Palace and located the vehicle Mario may have driven in.  Deputies coordinated with Tachi Palace Security and tracked Mario down, where deputies took him into custody and then booked him into the Kings County Jail with a $175,000 bail.
