The Los Angeles Police Department says Marcelo A. Lozano, 34, is suspected of sexually assaulting several children in the San Fernando Valley area. They are looking for more victims and eyewitnesses in the case.

The Los Angeles Police Department released a photo of a man on Friday suspected of sexually assaulting several children in the San Fernando Valley and hope other victims and witnesses will come forward.

Detectives arrested Marcelo Alonso Lozano at 4:30 p.m. Monday, July 29, after he was allegedly identified in a series of child sexual assaults in the Valley, the department said in a statement.

Investigators say Lozano may have been involved in additional attacks and are searching for potential victims or eyewitnesses. The victims ranged from 8 to 15 years of age at the time of the assaults, police said.

Investigators say Lozano was affiliated with the Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall in Sun Valley as an usher for six years. They say he used that position to initiate a relationship with his victims and their families.

Anyone with additional information about the case is asked to contact LAPD's North Hollywood sexual assault detectives at (818) 623-4090. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.
