BRIEF: Stanislaus man jailed after family member alleges 11 years of sexual abuse

Modesto Bee - 10/17/2018

Oct. 17--A Stanislaus County man is behind bars after a family member came forward to report she'd been the victim of his sexual abuse for 11 years.

David Steven Hernandez, 52, faces charges of continuous sexual abuse of a child, oral copulation with a minor and committing a lewd and lascivious act upon a minor under the age of 14.

Investigation and interviews conducted after the alleged victim -- now 17 or 18 years old -- came forward led to Hernandez's arrest Tuesday, Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department spokesman Sgt. Tom Letras said.

Hernandez remained in custody Thursday morning, with bail set at $250,000.
