Two Arrested For Alleged Sexual Assaults Of Minors

Chico police arrested two men in recent days in connection with alleged sexual abuse against two minors.

The two cases are separate and unrelated. Detectives arrested 33-year-old Jacob Duenas Thursday on charges of continuous sexual abuse of a minor. The 10-year-old victim was allegedly subjected to multiple assaults last spring.  

Separately, following a monthlong investigation, 54-year-old Jeffery Linan of Chico was arrested in connection with the alleged sexual assaults of a minor that occurred over a five-year period. The victim was between the ages of 8 and 13 when the alleged assaults occurred. The incidents started in 1999.

While under interrogation, Chico police said Linan admitted to the conduct. Linan is being held without bail at the Butte County jail on four counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a minor.
