RIVERSIDE COUNTY ANTI HUMAN TRAFFICKING TASK FORCE (RCAHT)
is seeking more information regarding an alleged case of rape of a minor and inducing a child to engage in sexual conduct for the purposes of producing pornography
According to court documents, the alleged assaults perpetrated against the 14 year old girl, identified only as "Jane Doe,'' occurred between Jan. 25 and March 22.
Sheriff's Sgt. Jose Tijerina said the Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force initiated an investigation of Hansen in Cabazon that culminated in findings that he had been sexually abusing the girl. Information regarding how the victim originally came into contact with Hansen and what ultimately prompted the sex trafficking investigation were not disclosed.
According to court papers, Hansen allegedly checked into multiple hotels and motels with the girl, among which were the Embassy Suites in Ontario, the Hilton in Palm Springs, the Quality Inn in Banning and the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Cabazon. The complaint alleges that Hansen used the victim to "transport, carry, sell, give away, prepare for sale and peddle fentanyl'' on nine separate occasions.
