Riverside County school employee arrested in child sexual abuse case

Riverside County investigators arrested a Lake Elsinore Unified School District employee at the center of a child sexual abuse case.

Homeland resident David Robledo, 36, faces several criminal charges, including lewd acts against a child under 14 years old and possession of child sexual assault material. The Riverside County District Attorney's Office also charged him with a misdemeanor count of unlawfully destroying evidence.

Robledo pleaded not guilty during his arraignment on March 23. 

The Riverside County Child Exploitation Team started investigating Robledo's case in December 2024 after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. The organization claimed that Robledo was storing child sexual abuse material on a cloud-based platform. 

After a few months, investigators arrested Robledo at his home in the 27000 block of Collin Drive. 

Detectives believe that Robledo may have victimized more people and asked anyone with information to contact the task force at (760) 863-8168. 

Investigators believe Robledo worked at several Lake Elsinore Unified School District campuses. 

The Riverside County Child Exploitation Team is a task force comprising of 10 local law enforcement agencies. The organization also works with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Marshals Service.
