GLENDALE, CA – On January 21, 2025, a female adult was walking in the area of Brand Boulevard and Chevy Chase Drive in the city of Glendale when she was allegedly sexually assaulted by an on-duty Amazon delivery driver. 

Glendale Police Department detectives have identified the suspect as Fernando Barreto-Hernandez, a 24-year-old resident of Los Angeles.

On January 24, 2025, only 3 days after the Glendale incident, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detectives arrested Barreto-Hernandez for a similar incident that occurred in Los Angeles in December 2024. On that occasion, Barreto-Hernandez allegedly sexually assaulted a female minor while delivering Amazon packages.

On February 21, 2025, Barreto-Hernandez appeared in court for the LAPD case, at which time he was arrested for the Glendale incident. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed a combination of felony and misdemeanor charges for the two cases. Barreto-Hernandez is out of custody on bond.

Barreto-Hernandez has worked for multiple delivery companies including Amazon, Amazon Flex, and FedEx. Anyone with information related to the identification of additional victims is urged to contact detectives from the Glendale Police Department’s Assaults Unit at (818) 548-3106.
