A 28-year-old San Luis Obispo man is facing three felony counts of child pornography after he was found to have more than 600 images portraying sexual sadism and masochism.
Utilizing tips from online electronic service providers such as Facebook, Google, Reddit; the Central California Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force then reports the cyber tips related to Ivan Cobarrubias to local law enforcement to investigate.
In 2022 and 2023. Cobarrubias worked as a custodian at Arroyo Grande, according to Transparent California. The district said he is no longer working at the high school.
Following a complex investigation involving sixteen separate cybertips and over 1,000 reported files of Child Sexual Abuse Material, on April 10 San Luis Obispo Police detectives served a search warrant on Cobarrubias’ residence and vehicle on the 1200 block of Murray Street and seized several electronic devices.
Detectives then booked Cobarrubias into San Luis Obispo County Jail for felony possession and transmission of child sexual abuse material, felony possession of matter depicting minor engaging in sexual conduct with more than 600 images and portraying sexual sadism and masochism, and felony possession of matter depicting minor engaging in sexual conduct.
