Miguel Adrian Gonzalez was arrested Friday following an investigation by Los Angeles Police Department detectives along with federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations in Ventura.
"Gonzalez has been employed at various schools, camps and after- school programs throughout the Los Angeles area," according to an LAPD statement. "Investigators have identified at least one minor victim within Los Angeles County and believe there may be additional victims. Gonzalez is believed to have targeted male minors."
Gonzalez is described as Hispanic, 5 feet 5 inches tall, 115 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
LAPD Juvenile Division detectives and HIS special agents believe the release of Gonzalez's photo could lead to the discovery of as-yet unreported victims.
Anyone who believes they were victimized by Gonzalez, or who has information about the case, was urged to contact the LAPD Juvenile Division, Internet Crimes Against Children Unit at icac@lapd.online, or Homeland Security Investigations Ventura at HSIVenturaICAC@hsi.dhs.gov immediately.
During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7). Anonymous tips can be submitted through L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477) or www.lacrimestoppers.org.
