A 52-year-old federal police officer was arrested Tuesday at the Veterans Affairs (VA) Hospital in Fresno where he was working as a federal police officer after Fresno County sheriff’s detectives discovered more than 1,000 digital photos and videos on his phone.
The images show toddlers being raped and engaging in bestiality.
Adrian Enriquez was arrested after members of the Central Valley Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force followed up on a cyber tip related to the uploading and downloading of child pornography.
Detectives also executed a search warrant at Enriquez’s home on the 500 block of South Belmont Drive in Exeter. There they seized more electronic devices, which will be examined for illegal material.
Enriquez is a veteran law enforcement officer who has previously worked for the Woodlake Police Department and Coalinga State Hospital.
He joined the VA Hospital at the beginning of 2021.
Booked Into Fresno County Jail
Enriquez has been booked into the Fresno County Jail on felony charges related to possession and distribution of child pornography.
His bail is set at $100,000.
If you have information about illegal sexual material being shared online, you can report it by calling Lt. Brandon Pursell at (559) 600-8029, Valley Crime Stoppers at (559) 498-7867, www.valleycrimestoppers.org or submit a cyber tip at http://www.missingkids.com/home.
After working with this man for many years it is terrifying to think that he was one of the people responsible for keeping an environment safe from contraband in a facility that primarily housed Sexually Violent Predators. No wonder this facility was always being flooded in child pornography. Any time contraband would be found, more would pop up. When you have individuals like this man working in maximum security facilities, you’ll never have reform. I hope more people are caught because of this and that he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
