INCIDENT: Sexual Assault Suspect Arrested
LOCATION: Apple Valley
SUSPECT(S): Freddy Cisneros, 23-year-old, Resident of Fontana
VICTIMS(S): 14-year-old female
SUMMARY: In May 2025, a 14-year-old victim was contacted by the suspect, Freddy Cisneros, through a social media platform. Shortly thereafter, Cisneros met with the victim in the town of Apple Valley. During the encounter, the suspect sexually assaulted the victim. Deputies responded to the incident location and assumed the investigation.
After a year-long investigation, detectives from the Apple Valley Station identified and arrested the suspect in the City of Fontana on June 9, 2026. Cisneros was booked at West Valley Detention Center and charged with having sex with a minor under the age of sixteen.
During the investigation it was found that the suspect was working as a tow truck driver and living in El Monte at the time of the assault. Detectives are releasing Cisneros’ booking photograph due to concerns that there may be additional victims.
