On July 15, 2026, Fullerton Police Department Sensitive Crimes Unit Detectives traveled to the City of Los Angeles to serve an arrest warrant on Claudio Marino HernandezLopez, a 40-year-old Los Angeles resident, following an investigation into allegations of child sexual abuse involving a female victim who was between 4 and 12 years old at the time the reported offenses occurred.
In January 2026, Fullerton Police Sensitive Crimes Unit Detectives began investigating HernandezLopez after receiving a police report from an outside law enforcement agency in Los Angeles County regarding allegations of sexual abuse that occurred within the City of Fullerton.

The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with additional information, or anyone who believes they may have been an unreported victim of HernandezLopez, is encouraged to contact Fullerton Police Detective N. Kaprielian at (714) 738-6763 or by email at [email protected].
