Suspect in Apple Valley Teen Assault Case Released on Bail

Apple Valley, Fontana, El Monte, crime, sexual assault, arrest, investigation

Detectives from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department have arrested a 23-year-old Fontana man following a year-long investigation into the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl in Apple Valley. Freddy Cisneros was taken into custody on Tuesday, June 9, at an apartment complex in Fontana, according to authorities and jail records.

The investigation began in May 2025, when deputies learned that Cisneros had contacted the victim through social media before arranging an in-person meeting in Apple Valley. During that encounter, Cisneros allegedly sexually assaulted the girl, according to a sheriff's department statement.

Cisneros was booked on suspicion of unlawful sex with a minor under 16. He was released from custody the following day after posting bail, pending further legal proceedings.

Authorities revealed that at the time of the assault, Cisneros was working as a tow truck driver and living in El Monte. Detectives have released Cisneros' booking photograph due to concerns that there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward.

The Apple Valley Police Department is urging anyone with information about this case or potential additional victims to contact them at (760) 240-7400, or Sheriff's Dispatch at (760) 956-5001. Anonymous tips can also be submitted to the WeTip hotline at (844) 909-3096.
