Overview
- Damon Jon Luecke, 53, of Gilroy was arrested at his home and taken into custody on August 7 in connection with the case.
- The Santa Clara County district attorney charged Luecke with three felonies and one misdemeanor for possessing sexually explicit images of a minor and related conduct.
- Authorities say Luecke communicated with the 13‑year‑old on TikTok, the boy told him his age during chats, and the conversations included sexual content and plans to meet.
- Police executed search warrants for the victim’s phone and online accounts and recovered sexually explicit images that investigators say tied Luecke to the case.
- Luecke is employed as an IT staff analyst at the San Benito County Probation Department and previously worked for San Mateo County Probation, a background officials say heightens concern about betrayal of public trust.
