A Las Vegas man has been arrested on accusations he sexually abused a 13-year-old girl in California, authorities said.
Juan Carlos Hernandez-Alcala, 19, was arrested by San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department detectives in Victorville, California, on June 6. A press release posted by law enforcement on social media said Hernandez-Alcala was arrested after a man contacted the girl through a social media messaging app, then traveled to Victorville repeatedly to sexually abuse the girl.
“Detectives believe Hernandez-Alcala also had explicit conversations with other minor females,” the sheriff’s department said, adding that they’ve released Hernandez-Alcala’s mugshot because “there may be additional victims.”
Hernandez-Alcala was booked at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. He remained housed there without bail Friday afternoon as California authorities pursued extradition.
Anyone with further information regarding the case is asked to call Detective George Holland of the Victorville Sheriff’s Station at (909) 556-2863. Callers wishing to remain anonymous may call the We-Tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463) or you may leave the information at www.wetip.com.
