Shingletown Man Arrested After Alleged Sex Crimes With Children & Animals

A Shingletown man has been arrested for having sex with an animal, and for possession of child sexual abuse material. Detectives served a warrant at the home of 37-year old Christopher Loren Holmes on Tuesday after they were notified in March on a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about suspected activity connected to Holmes. Detectives identified multiple videos depicting the sexual abuse of children. He also apparently had sent and received child abuse material. During Tuesday’s search, deputies located additional evidence and learned he had engaged in sexual intercourse with an animal. He also had several high-capacity firearm magazines, and illegal assault weapons.
