Paul Razo has been charged with sexually assaulting four boys at his Covina home while he was employed as an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, prosecutors stated Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe allegations of sexual abuse against vulnerable children in this case are deeply disturbing and it’s particularly troubling that the defendant was a law enforcement officer at the time,\u201d District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding, “childhood sexual abuse causes immeasurable har<\/span>m and our hearts go out to the victims who were victimized by someone they trusted. We will do everything in our power to ensure they can access the support and resources they need to heal. Sexual abuse of any kind is a heinous crime and we will not tolerate it in our community.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Razo, 46, was charged with eight counts of lewd act upon a child.\u00a0 He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defendant is accused of sexually assaulting two of his young male relatives. According to authorities, one of the victims was about 11 or 12 years old when Razo allegedly began the abuse, while the other victim was about 13.<\/span><\/p>\n

The other two victims were sons of a woman Razo had been dating, and they often reportedly spent the night at his home. One of the boys was 9 or 10 years old when Razo allegedly sexually assaulted him, while the victim\u2019s brother was 12 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n

The alleged crimes occurred during various times between 2006 and 2017. Razo departed LAPD in April 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n
