The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office has filed charges against the five suspects arrested during a recent child sex sting in Walnut Creek, according to police. Walnut Creek Police also clarified that although county jail records showed all five had been released, two of the suspects remain in custody. The five men were arrested during a multi-agency operation led by the Walnut Creek Police Department and the Contra Costa County Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force after allegedly traveling to meet someone they believed was a child for sex. Investigators said the operation targeted adults who used social media to sexually exploit children.
Those charged are:
Andrew Garcia, 32, of Concord
Billie Ray Breland, 29, of Antioch
Rudolf Naused Robl, 42, of Germany
Jacek Markiewicz, 67, of Walnut Creek, who also faces an attempted kidnapping charge
Taesu Park, 36, of Marin County
All five have been charged with attempted lewd acts with a minor, contacting a minor to commit a sex offense, and arranging to meet a minor for sex. According to Walnut Creek Police, the ICAC Task Force works to identify and arrest online child predators before they can harm a real child through proactive investigations, training, and victim support.

Here are some disturbing facts: There are over 60,000 searchable registered sexual offenders on Megan’s law database. An estimated 76% involve crimes against children. This does not take into consideration those who are not in compliance, those who were convicted prior to the law going into effect, those who live out of state but hunt in California, those who pled to a lesser offense, plea agreements that prevent registration, sexual offenses that go unreported or those in or awaiting trial.
Here are even more disturbing fact:
*Approximately 30% to 40% of victims are abused by a relative.
*Approximately 50% to 60% of offenders are trusted non-family individuals, including family friends, neighbors, or authority figures.
*Only a small percentage, roughly 7% to 10%, of juvenile sexual abuse cases are committed by strangers such as this case.
