Milford – On November 30, 2017, Carlos Gonzalez-Valesquez, 30 of Richmond, VA, was formally charged by the Milford Police Department Criminal Investigations Division following a 2014 child sex abuse investigation, according to Milford Police Department Detective Timothy Maloney.
Maloney said through the investigation, it was alleged that Gonzalez-Valesquez sexually abused a female juvenile. After the initial report was made by the victim, warrants were obtained for Gonzalez-Valesquez, who fled from Delaware and disappeared, according to Maloney. Officials said that a tip was received in November 2017 advising that Gonzalez-Valesquez was residing in Richmond VA with the victim’s mother, Emma Dorly-Ventura, 38 of Richmond, Virginia. Further investigation revealed that the victim’s mother was planning on traveling back to Delaware and taking custody of the victim and moving the victim to Richmond, Virginia, according Maloney.
