Robledo faces three felony counts: two counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child under the age of 14, one count of possession of child sexual assault material. He also faces one misdemeanor count of unlawfully destroying evidence.
The investigation into Robledo was started in December 2024 by the Riverside County Child Exploitation Team (RCCET) after they received a tip. The report from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children showed that an online user was storing child exploitative files on a cloud-based platform.
Investigators served a search warrant at his residence after determining that the user of the account was allegedly Robledo.
