Aaron Zendejas - held on multiple charges - Police seek other babysitting victims

A mother of a suspect in a child pornography ring is declaring her son's innocence.

Jeannie Holloway said, "I'm praying. I'm praying for my son to come home because he did not do this."

Jeannie Holloway's 24-year-old son sits in a jail facing multiple charges. Among them, Deputy District Attorney Matthew Greco detailed, "kidnapping for purposes of oral copulation of a minor."

Authorities say Aaron Zendejas took a 3-year-old boy he was babysitting to a house where child pornography was made and where the toddler was molested.

However, Holloway says her son loved the kids he was babysitting, adding that he was "good with the kids. He never done anything wrong with the kids."

Neighbors recoiled at the charges filed against Zendejas. One woman saying that, "It makes me upset -- internally upset -- to know that I'm living next door to this."

Police now are on the hunt for fugitive suspect Jared Yaffe, the man they say molested the little boy, among others.

They say they have photographic evidence that shows Yaffe actually participating in the molestation of a young child. He's charged with seventeen counts, and police suggest he and Zendejas may not be the only suspects.

"The scope is deep and wide ranging - we don't know the exact numbers," said Lt. Rick O'Hanlon of the San Diego Police Department. "The detectives are still going through the numbers, still analyzing it."

The number of victims is also unclear. One deputy D.A. has said at least four but likely more.

Investigators released a picture of Yaffee on Wednesday and announced that an arrest warrant with bail set at $5 million has been issued for the 30-year old suspect.

Suspected molester Jared Yaffee

Investigators say Yaffee has been identified as one of the molesters. San Diego Police say Yaffee may also be responsible for videotaping children while they were being molested.

Holloway said, "He's a bad influence, and my son keeps, hanging around him."

Greco said, "We are still looking for that 3-year-old. There is an active search specifically, to look for that three year old and his family."

Aaron Zendejas was arrested January 28th and is held on $500,000 bail on charges that include child molesting, manufacturing child pornography, kidnapping and committing a sex crime with a child 10 years or younger.

Aaron Zendejas allegedly supplied children to molester.

San Diego police are publicizing pictures of Zendejas, hoping it will help identify any addition victims.

Investigators think most of the cases would have been in the Santee and El Cajon areas.

Investigators said they're still trying to identify the alleged victims, who range in age from 3 to 10 years old. Police are asking anyone who may have used Zendejas as a babysitter to call the police immediately.

Anyone with information about Zendejas is asked to contact San Diego County Crime Stoppers. Investigators say you may remain anonymous.

Zendejas is due back in court February 10th.
