A former Kern County Sheriff's Deputy faces numerous charges of child molestation.
According to court records, Mark Thomas Patrina, 76, faces six felony counts related to molesting children under the age of 14.
In January, the Bakersfield Police Department said they started a sexual abuse investigation. In April, they submitted the case to the district attorney, and a judge issued a warrant for Patrina's arrest.
The BPD said Patrina was aware of the investigation and that sometime during it, he moved to Aberdeen, Wash.
Patrina was arrested in Aberdeen and extradited back to Kern County.
The BPD said there were multiple victims over many years.
Patrina is due back in court May 26.
