sex assault arrest

Sparks Police have arrested a sexual assault suspect whose alleged crimes have been under investigation since 2021.

Back in August of 2021, a report was filed with Sparks Police that made allegations of sexual assault being committed by Daniel Saldana-Jacinto. 

The investigation revealed three victims between 10 and 13 years old when the report was filed. The investigation showed the abuse began when the victims were approximately 5 and 6 years old and continued for several years.

Saldana-Jacinto is a previously convicted sex offender resulting from a 2010 conviction.

As the investigation continued, police learned Saldana-Jacinto had fled the state.

In January of this year, police learned that Saldana-Jacinto was living in rural Pennsylvania. Sparks Police coordinated with local police to begin surveillance and a warrant was issued.

Saldana-Jacinto was arrested in a traffic stop and is currently in Pennsylvania awaiting extradition to Nevada.
