Santa Ana City Councilman Carlos Bustamante, serving on the City Council since 2004. He has been with Orange County Public Works since 2003, most recently as an administrative manager. He has been active in local politics for many years.
The Orange County District Attorney’s Office became aware of allegations against this defendant in March of this year, and we have been working diligently and against the clock on the investigation.Over 50 witnesses have been interviewed, many of whom were very reluctant to get involved. For his sexual assault-related crimes, Bustamante is accused of sexually assaulting at least seven women who worked under him in his official capacity at Orange County Public Works between 2003 and 2011.
There are at least 12 other victims. Even though we cannot charge the defendant for these additional victims due to the statute of limitations, we are going to fight for justice on their behalf. We will seek to introduce evidence in court that Bustamante had the propensity to commit the crimes against Jane Does 1 through 7, based on the crimes he also committed against the other 12 victims.
