Police were contacted in early May by the girl’s parents after Lata allegedly made “inappropriate” advances through her MySpace page. Online conversations between Lata and a person he believed was the 12-year-old continued. However, Lata was actually communicating with an Orland police officer, police said.
Lata attempted twice to meet the girl. At the first meeting May 16 in Aquatic Park Lata reportedly struck up a conversation with an undercover officer assigned to wait for him, asking if anyone had seen the 12-year-old.
At the second meeting, on May 26, Lata was arrested. Police served a search warrant at Lata’s Chico home and seized four computers at the same time he was being arrested in Orland.
Lata posted a $10,000 bail bond the same day and was released.
The girl’s family filed for a restraining order against Lata on May 28 and expressed frustration about his release. In court documents, the family alleged that Lata told the girl she was “beautiful,” “gorgeous,” and “that he thinks about her constantly.”
