EASTVALE MAN ARRESTED AND CHARGED IN SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A MINOR CASE
August 12, 2024
RIVERSIDE – When a 24-year-old Eastvale man was arrested last week by the Riverside County Child Exploitation Team (RCCET) in a sexual assault of a minor case, he was out on bail awaiting trial in a separate child annoyance case.
Bryan Josue Flores Valdez, DOB: 8-6-2000, was arrested on Aug. 7, 2024, at his home by RCCET members following a lengthy investigation. Flores Valdez has now been charged by the Riverside County DA’s Office with 13 felonies and three misdemeanors.
The defendant was out on bail awaiting trial in a separate case with three misdemeanor counts of child annoyance when the DA’s Bureau of Investigation was asked to look into some new evidence, which resulted in his arrest. The previous child annoyance case involves Flores Valdez reportedly exposing himself to children near several elementary schools in the Corona area.
After the new investigation, Flores Valdez has now been charged with 13 felonies including sexual assault of a minor 10 years of age or younger, and charges relating to the production, possession, and distribution of child sexual abuse material.
Flores Valdez appeared for arraignment on Aug. 9, 2024, at the Hall of Justice in Riverside. The arraignment was continued to Aug. 23, 2024, in Dept. 53.
If convicted as currently charged, Flores Valdez faces a possible sentence of life in prison.
The case, RIF2404106, is being prosecuted by Managing Deputy DA Kevin Beecham and Deputy DA Kalista McCauley of the DA’s Felony Prosecution Unit.
RCCET is an affiliate of the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force. RCCET is led by the DA’s Bureau of Investigation and works in partnership with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, Beaumont, Blythe, Desert Hot Springs, Menifee, Murrieta, and Riverside Police Departments, the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation, FBI, Inland Regional Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and U.S. Marshals Service.
