San Bernardino man accused of sexually assaulting woman he met on dating apps
Fontana police asked for help finding potential victims of a San Bernardino man arrested for sexually assaulting a woman he met on a dating app.
Detectives from the Fontana Police Department arrested 31-year-old Oscar Silva Morales on April 17. They believe he met several women on dating apps and messaged them through Snapchat under the usernames: thatboii_laloo and Joey242599.
Silva Morales allegedly sexually assaulted his victim inside his car after meeting the woman on a dating app. Silvia Morales had been between homes, living in his car and bouncing around different residences in Southern California, according to Fontana PD.
Investigators added that Silva Morales is the subject of several investigations in San Bernardino and Orange counties.
For these reasons, detectives are concerned that there may be more victims who have not come forward.
Police urged anyone with information on the case to contact Detective Baker at (909) 854-8014 or via email LBaker@fontanaca.gov.

Fontana police chief warns of misidentifying local law enforcement with ICE agents
The chief of the Fontana Police Department said officer safety is at risk as department officers are being confused for ICE or federal agents involved in immigration enforcement, mostly as misinformation spreads through social media, he said. Chief Michael Dorsey said at a Thursday news conference that these misunderstandings have led to people disrupting active police duties unrelated to ICE immigration operations. "As your chief of police, let me be clear, the Fontana Police Department is committed to protecting and serving all members of our community," Dorsey said. "Our mission is to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone who lives, works, or visits our city." The chief gave recent examples of misinformation and misidentification. He said three uniformed police officers working a burglary and trespassing investigation were said on social media to be "knocking door-to-door, asking for immigration paperwork and citizenship, and that just simply isn't true," Dorsey said. He also said there have been undercover officers working criminal investigations that have been surrounded by community members who think they are conducting immigration enforcement. "They are trying to often times arrest criminal violators, nothing to do with immigration enforcement, and they are being surrounded. Their focus is being drawn away from their task at hand and it's creating officer safety issues," Dorsey said. The chief also wanted to allay fears in contacting local police, noting the California Values Act, which states, "California law enforcement agencies shall not use agency or department moneys or personnel to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes." "We believe that no one should fear contacting the police to report a crime, seek help, or cooperate in an investigation because of their immigration status," Dorsey said. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department also sent out a similar community message on X, stating "all white vehicles are NOT ICE." The department clarified that they have a fleet of unmarked vehicles in all colors, makes and models, "none of which include immigration enforcement." "We have had two incidents of our sheriff's department personnel targeted while driving our unmarked units and in one case they were run off the road," the department wrote on X.

Former Corpus Christi police officer convicted on charge of enticement of a minor
A U.S. district court has convicted a former Corpus Christi Police Department officer of coercing a 15-year-old girl to have sex with him. Daniel Abelardo Verduzco, 32, entered a plea of guilty on May 16 to one count of enticement of a minor, according to records from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. U.S. District Judge David S. Morales found Verduzco guilty on May 23 and ordered a presentence investigation report to be prepared by the U.S. Probation Office. Morales accepted the plea on June 9. Verduzco is scheduled to appear for sentencing on Aug. 21. U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents notified the Corpus Christi Police Department that they had arrested Verduzco on Jan. 19 in Nueces County. Police in Tulsa, Oklahoma, began investigating Verduzco on Jan. 8 after a concerned parent told them that she thought her daughter was involved in a relationship with a Corpus Christi police officer. The mother looked at her daughter's Snapchat account and found photo messages between her daughter and a user known as 'Danny' inside of a police cruiser with a computer mount and laptop that revealed sensitive information about police calls and notes about the police calls, the Caller-Times previously reported. Tulsa police found that the girl and the Snapchat user had exchanged more than 3,700 messages, which included photos of the girl's breasts and videos and photos of her in sexually suggestive poses and outfits, according to a criminal complaint filed on Jan. 18 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The teenager's mother said that at the time she believed 'Danny' to be the same age as her daughter, the complaint showed. However, her daughters confirmed that 'Danny' was a police officer, she said. Verduzco is no longer employed with the city of Corpus Christi, Lt. Eryca Gonzalez of the Corpus Christi Police Department confirmed on June 16. The department previously placed Verduzco on administrative leave after the investigation began in January. Gonzalez said the police department fully cooperated with the investigation, which was led by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, but did not comment further on the case.
