Carl W. Cacconie was convicted July 17 on six counts of committing lewd acts upon a child under the age of 14, according to court records.
In a statement, the El Dorado District Attorney’s Office said he failed to show for his scheduled sentencing Tuesday after he remained out of jail on $1 million bail following his conviction. Authorities added that the court’s decision to allow Cacconie bail was “over our continuous objections.”
Law enforcement agencies are searching for him. They urged anyone who may happen to see him not to approach him and instead call 911 immediately.
News reports out of Sacramento said Cacconi’s trial revealed he molested a young girl for several months between 2014 and 2015 and that another girl testified that she’d been molested in a similar way by Cacconi in the early 2000s.
