Amazon Delivery Driver Accused of Sexually Assaulting a Minor and a Woman While on the Job, Police Say

An Amazon delivery driver in California has been accused of sexually assaulting a minor and a woman while on the job during two separate instances — and police are now asking “potential additional victims” to come forward.

Fernando Barreto-Hernandez was initially arrested on Jan. 24 after being accused of sexually assaulting a minor while delivering Amazon packages in Los Angeles in December 2024, the Glendale Police Department (GPD) said in a news release.

As he appeared in court for the case on Feb. 21, Barreto-Hernandez was arrested for a separate instance that took place in Glendale on Jan. 21, when a woman alleged that she was sexually assaulted by an on-duty Amazon delivery driver, police added.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office later filed a “combination of felony and misdemeanor charges for the two cases,” according to police. Per The Los Angeles Times, Barreto-Hernandez was charged with lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old and touching a person against their will for sexual arousal.

Barreto-Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to the charges, CBS News Los Angeles reported, citing court documents.

Barreto-Hernandez — who has worked delivery for Amazon, Amazon Flex and FedEx, per police — is currently out on bond.

In the news release, the GPD said it was seeking information on “potential additional victims” who Barreto-Hernandez may have targeted. Authorities said these individuals could reach out to the Glendale Police Department’s Assaults Unit.

PEOPLE has reached out to the L.A. County Public Defender’s Office for comment. It is not immediately clear if Barreto-Hernandez has legal representation to comment on his behalf.

Alisa Carroll, an Amazon spokesperson, told Los Angeles’ KABC in a statement that delivery drivers are “not Amazon employees.”

“Those who deliver to Amazon customers work for independent third-party delivery service providers,” she explained.

A representative for Amazon did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Sunday, March 9.
