A sex scandal that erupted eight months ago and involves a former San Jose police officer from Gilroy will culminate in court Monday afternoon.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s dive team spent the day Thursday searching Anderson reservoir, the largest reservoir in the county, for any sign of missing teen Sierra LaMar. 

A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of molesting at least six females age 16 and younger, police said. 

Toxicology results came in for the dog on Ronan Avenue whose owner suspected it was poisoned, and the verdict is in: No evidence of poisoning was found.

A Morgan Hill man was arrested for allegedly choking and punching his girlfriend, sending her to the hospital with multiple injuries including cuts and bruises throughout her face and head, a bloody nose and bloody lip.

The west Morgan Hill man accused of killing and eating a bobcat pleaded guilty to the illegal possession of cockfighting tools and possession of methamphetamine, among other charges, according to authorities. 

A 10-year-old Gilroy girl suffered severe injuries after she was hit by car while riding her bike on Westwood Drive near First Street around 6:30 p.m. Saturday. She was not wearing a helmet.

The family of Sierra LaMar increased the reward for information leading to the missing Morgan Hill teen’s safe return home.

One of the country’s best-known crime fighters and victims’ advocates hopes to find Sierra LaMar by bringing prolonged national attention to the teen who remains missing after six weeks.
