District Attorney George Gascón Announces
Charges Against Man in Sexual Assault of Two Boys
in Los Angeles County, Seeks Additional Victims

da-nl20240815-Sexual-Assault-of-2-Boys-LA-County

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced that Andrew Sandoval of the city of South Gate is charged with allegedly sexually abusing two boys between November 2015 and this year within Los Angeles County.

Sandoval is currently in custody and investigators are seeking additional victims because his work history includes employment by dozens of schools and child care settings in Los Angeles County.

“The abhorrent nature of these crimes against children and the defendant’s employment in schools and childcare settings is of tremendous concern, and we are asking for anyone who may have additional information to come forward,” District Attorney Gascón said. “We’re committed to seeking justice, and the courage to come forward can ensure justice for those who have been harmed.”

Additional victims or anyone with information is encouraged to call the South Gate Police Department’s tip line at 323-563-5436.
