Therapist arrested for repeatedly sexually assaulting a girl in her San Jose home

On June 8, San Jose Police responded to a report of a sexual assault on a minor that had occurred the day before in her home. Upon arrival, officers found that the minor survivor had been sexually assaulted by her adult male therapist during a session in her home.

The suspect was identified as Alejandro Lopez Nunez, 38, of Santa Clara, a behavioral therapist at Trumpet Behavioral Health and also working part-time as a teaching assistant at Forest Hill Elementary School at the time of the incident.

The San Jose Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children/Child Exploitation Detail (CED) Task Force conducted a thorough and comprehensive investigation and determined that Nunez had sexually abused the underage female victim on multiple occasions since March.

The next day, detectives tracked down suspect Lopez Nunez in the city of Santa Clara, arrested him, and booked him into the Santa Clara County Main Jail on charges of sexual abuse of a minor.

Police believe there may be additional victims and ask anyone with information about this or similar cases to contact Detective Minten #4269 of the San Jose Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force via email: (email protected) or 408-277-4102.
