Las Cruces Man, 18, Booked on Multiple Counts of Criminal Sexual Penetration

Allegedly... Victor Roman Rios, 18, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 4, 2026. Rios, identified by booking number 2600005320, faces three felony charges including criminal sexual penetration involving force or coercion and criminal sexual penetration resulting in injury. He was arrested at 2221 Cimarron Drive and is currently being held without bond. The charges involve allegations of non-consensual sexual acts, with the specific statutes distinguishing between the use of physical force and incidents resulting in bodily injury to the victim. These first-degree felony charges are among the most serious under New Mexico law, and a no-bond hold indicates the court has ordered the defendant to remain in custody pending a detention hearing. The charges are allegations, and Victor Roman Rios is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
