Published by Joe Burgess December 7th, 2007 in Police /Legal.Police investigators are looking at the possibility of additional victims in a sexual assault case after a Warren man was charged with sexual assault of a minor and reveals to police he works around children for a living.
The Department of Human Services and state police led Warren Police Department detectives to Ronnie Lopez. Detectives have only a story from one child victim of alleged sexual abuse, but detectives say the background of Lopez, 35, could lead to more charges.
Lopez is free as of Wednesday night on $25,000 bail after being charged with sexual assault of a child under the age of 14.
“According to Mr. Lopez he does work around underage children and juveniles,” says detective Shaun Hildreth with Warren P.D.
Lopez told investigators he works at the Day Spring Behavioral Health Services in Monticello. Police say it’s a center for troubled teens.
Reports indicate Lopez is a former employee of the Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Home in Monticello.
