Santa Barbara County sheriff’s detectives arrested a Lompoc man on Thursday on suspicion of sexual battery.

Starting Sunday, detectives investigated a report of a suspected sexual battery of an adult female at a post-prom party at Bowlero in Goleta, spokeswoman Raquel Zick said.

They identified a suspect as Miguel “Michael” Angel Juarez of Lompoc and arrested him on Thursday. He was booked into the Northern Branch Jail on suspicion of misdemeanor sexual battery on $10,000 bail, Zick said.

“Detectives learned that Juarez was familiar with the victim in this initial case through his employment as a special-education paraeducator at Dos Pueblos High School,” the Sheriff’s Office said. “This investigation remains ongoing, and detectives are sharing news of this arrest with the public along with a request for any additional survivors to reach out.”

Anyone with information can contact Detective Kiesow by phone at 805.681.4150. Anonymous tips can be submitted online at sbsheriff.org/home/anonymous-tip or by calling 805.681.4171.

“Sheriff’s detectives coordinate closely with the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office, Victim-Witness Program to ensure the needs of survivors are not overshadowed by the focus on the investigation and prosecution of the accused,” Zick said.

The program can be contacted directly at 805.568.2400 or toll free at 855.840.3232.

Support services for survivors are also available through Standing Together to End Sexual Assault (STESA), including a confidential 24-hour hotline, legal and medical advocacy and accompaniment, and counseling. The hotline phone number is 805.564.3696.
