Authorities on Monday asked the public for leads regarding the head of a company that organized youth after-school programs after he was arrested last week on suspicion of possessing child pornography. <\/p>\n
Miguel Adrian Gonzalez, 28, worked at schools, camps and after-school programs throughout the Los Angeles area, L.A. Police Department officials said in a statement on X. <\/p>\n
He was arrested Oct. 24 by LAPD detectives and agents from Homeland Security Investigations and remains in jail pending an arraignment. <\/p>\n
It was unclear whether Gonzalez was represented by a lawyer who could speak on his behalf. <\/p>\n
Detectives suspect Gonzalez abused \u201cat least\u201d one child, LAPD officials said in the statement, and the department published Gonzalez\u2019s photograph to solicit tips about other potential victims. <\/p>\n
Gonzalez, originally from Las Vegas, is listed in public records as chief executive of Let\u2019s Play LA. In an archived version of its website, which has since been taken down, the company called itself \u201ca community-driven organization dedicated to creating a space where kids can explore, connect and grow through active engagement and play.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe in the power of playing with children, not just supervising,\u201d the website said. <\/p>\n
The company addressed Gonzalez\u2019s arrest in an email to parents, calling it \u201cserious and upsetting.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOut of concern for every child and family connected to our programs, all Let\u2019s Play LA LLC activities and events are suspended immediately until further notice,\u201d the email said. <\/p>\n
Let\u2019s Play LA did not immediately return an email seeking comment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Authorities on Monday asked the public for leads regarding the head of a company that organized youth after-school…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":337254,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[13257,1582,276,166687,638,3040,12817,6460,166686,2961,166688,224,2444,5337,166689,4905,12647,11004,42897],"class_list":{"0":"post-337253","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-authority","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-child-pornography-case","12":"tag-company","13":"tag-department","14":"tag-email","15":"tag-gonzalez","16":"tag-l-a-area-after-school-program","17":"tag-la","18":"tag-lapd-detective","19":"tag-los-angeles","20":"tag-los-angeles-times","21":"tag-losangeles","22":"tag-other-potential-victim","23":"tag-photograph","24":"tag-public","25":"tag-statement","26":"tag-website"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115449086998744733","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=337253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=337253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=337253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
