According to a statement from the San Jose Police Department, nearly 50 people were arrested in violation of sex crimes warrants within three months.

The raid, which lasted from February to April, resulted in the arrest of a total of 46 people suspected of committing a range of crimes, from minor sexual assaults to serious cases of sexual assault of minors and rape, police said in a press release on Tuesday.

The suspects arrested were mostly men, but at least one suspect was a woman, and their ages ranged from 19 to 73. Most of the suspects were from San Jose, but some of those arrested were from other Bay Area cities.

Several were arrested outside the state, in Wyoming, Louisiana and New Mexico.

The San Jose Police Department’s Sexual Assault Investigation Unit coordinated the arrests with San Jose patrol officers and the city’s Street Crimes Unit. San Jose Police said those arrested are suspected of committing crimes between 2019 and 2024.

“Our SAIU detectives are doing an excellent job of bringing these offenders to justice so our survivors can begin their healing process and find peace of mind,” said Acting Police Chief Paul Joseph. “I am grateful for their dedication to taking these dangerous criminals off the streets and bringing justice to our survivors.”

The department’s statement noted that there may have been numerous victims following the arrests. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the San Jose Police Department’s Sexual Assaults Investigations Unit at 408-277-4102.
