Yuma man arrested and charged with sexual conduct with a minor

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Yuma Police Department (YPD) says a man was arrested and charged with sexual conduct with a minor.

YPD says they received reports of a sex offense involving a 20-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl on October 31.

During the investigation, YPD says they established probable cause, and the man, identified as Derek Lucifer Moreno, was arrested and booked into the Yuma County Detention Center last Monday.

YPD says an indictment was filed in the Yuma County Superior Court Tuesday, charging Moreno with one count of sexual assault, four counts of sexual conduct with a minor and four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Moreno is currently being held at the Yuma County Detention Center on a bond of $50,000.
