A Salinas Community Service Officer was taken into custody this week on charges of sexual misconduct with a minor. Police say 28-year old Scott Callan was arrested last night and was booked into Monterey County Jail on 5-counts of intercourse with a victim under the age of 15, 1-count of sodomy, and 1-count of oral copulation. Callan, who had been an employee with the Salinas Police Department since July 2001, was an advisor with the Department’s youth program. The victim had been involved in the Explorer program conducted at the police department designed to educate those between the ages of 14 and 21 about police work and the criminal justice system. Callan’s bail has been set at 75-thousand dollars, and has been placed on administrative leave.
