Walla Walla man to change plea in alleged child sex abuse case

WALLA WALLA – A Walla Walla man whose been awaiting trial for alleged child sex crimes that occurred between 2004 and 2017 in Walla Walla County is scheduled to change his plea. A hearing for Jesse Cantu DeLarosa is scheduled for Friday in Walla Walla County Superior Court.

He’s charged with four counts of child molestation, two counts of indecent exposure, intimidating a witness and indecent liberties.

Jesse and his wife, Tamara Lynette DeLarosa, were arrested in Brownsville, Texas, in the summer of 2022. She is charged with first-degree rendering criminal assistance and tampering with a witness. At last report, her case is still in process.

Since being extradited back to Walla Walla County, the couple has violated the conditions of their pretrial release.

Pre trial release?? 🤬 our justice system is a complete joke

Yeah, they’re terrible people who have shown they can’t be decent, but let’s just give them a pretrial release. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Who thought that was a good idea?
