A 23-year-old paraeducator who worked at a Riverbank school was arrested Thursday following an investigation into the purchase of child sexual abuse material, the Modesto Police Department said.

Detectives with the department’s Special Crimes Unit investigated a tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and identified the suspect as Noah Refujio Trevizo, a Modesto resident, police said.

Investigators learned Trevizo was employed by the Stanislaus County Office of Education as a paraeducator at a school in Riverbank. The office was notified and cooperated with detectives throughout the investigation, according to police.

Investigators have found no indication of victims associated with the schools where Trevizo worked, the department said.

Trevizo was arrested on suspicion of possessing child sexual abuse material and distributing or possessing it with intent to distribute, police said.
