Middle School Security Guard Suspected Of Sexually Molesting Student In Fontana

FONTANA (CBSLA.com) — Police Tuesday announced the arrest of a 39-year-old man who allegedly molested a female student while employed as a middle school security guard.

According to the Fontana Police Department, Bryan Heredia is accused of engaging in sexual intercourse with the victim -- who was under the age of 14-years-old at the time -- at Motel 6 in Fontana on Feb. 14, 2007.

Officers explained the student attended Kucera Middle School in Rialto, where Heredia worked as a security guard.

The victim recently reported the incident to police, which subsequently prompted an investigation.

On Monday, officers arrested Heredia in connection to the alleged sexual molestation. The District Attorney's office has since filed lewd acts with a child under 14 charges against him.

At this time, it remains unknown if there are any other victims.

Authorities have not clarified if Heredia has worked at any additional schools since the incident occurred.

Anyone with additional information regarding this case is urged to call the anonymous tip line at (909) 356-TIPS.
