Man Convicted For Sex Crime

Ivan Lopez, 23, was convicted of driving a 13-year-old from her San Bernardino County home to Las Vegas to have sex with her.

Lopez formed an online relationship with the 13 year old for several months in 2010. Lopez told the 13 year old that he considered her his wife and that he had bought a ring for her. Lopez asked the 13 year old to be his girlfriend and told her his plans of running away with her and having sex with her.  

In 2010, Lopez traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada with her. He arranged to pick her up from her home once her parents went to sleep. As soon as her parents realized her missing, an Amber Alert was issued and Lopez was found and arrested when his vehicle was located outside a motel in Las Vegas.

Lopez was sentenced the week of September 12, 2011 to 7 years in federal prison and in addition to his prison sentence he will be required to register as a sex offender.
