He remains jailed without bail pending a Jan. 6 court date.

Overview

  • Prosecutors filed a second amended complaint on Oct. 22 that added two additional children, bringing the total to 33 felony counts and 15 identified survivors.
  • Braff pleaded not guilty at his Oct. 23 arraignment and remains in Ventura County custody after a judge denied his request to set bail.

  • Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and ask anyone with information to contact Ventura County District Attorney Investigator Greg Webb at 805-477-1627.
