GRASS VALLEY, Calif. —

A Grass Valley business owner, who employed minors at his eatery, was arrested last week in connection with a child exploitation investigation, according to the police department. Investigators are urging any children who worked for the owner to contact them.

Grass Valley police said that on Friday, officers arrested Jesse Paquin after they received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about an investigation into the distribution of contraband images.

Officials said "disturbing material" was found during a search of Paquin's electronic devices, leading to his arrest.

Paquin is the owner of Grass Valley Pasty Company, the police department said. Any children who were Paquin's employees are urged to contact investigators at 530-47
