Southern California man arrested for allegedly providing drugs, alcohol to underage girls for sex
A San Fernando Valley man was arrested on suspicion of sexually preying on underage girls by offering free drugs and alcohol in exchange for sex.
Ivan Hernandez, 30, of Valley Village, was arrested for the alleged crimes on March 23, the Burbank Police Department announced Thursday.
Officers from the Los Angeles and Burbank police departments had been investigating Hernandez for possible lewd contact and unlawful sex with underage victims.
On March 23, police responded to a call reporting suspected drug activity at an undisclosed location where Hernandez was found inside a car with an underage girl.
Investigators said Hernandez had allegedly been providing nitrous oxide, marijuana, and alcohol to underage victims in exchange for sexual acts.
He reportedly used Instagram to locate his victims and would lure them in with the promise of free drugs and alcohol. Detectives believe he often recorded these sexual encounters on his cell phone.
On March 25, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office filed multiple felony charges against Hernandez, including:
3 counts of unlawful sex with a minor under 16
2 counts of arranging to meet with a minor for lewd purposes
1 count of child endangerment
1 count of oral copulation of a minor under 16
1 count of lewd or lascivious acts with a minor 14 or 15 years old
1 count of possession of child sexual abuse material
He is currently being held without bail and is awaiting his next court appearance.
Detectives believe there may be additional victims who have not come forward. Hernandez is known to have used the following Instagram profile names to contact minors: noznbars, n2ohead, nawzhead818, nozzhead_818, and nozzhead818_.
Anyone who may have been a victim or has information on the case is asked to call Detective Shifley of the Burbank Police Department at 818-238-3210.

YPD cites juvenile for running, finds gun, after investigation into large crowd and gunfire
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — City police late Wednesday cited a juvenile who ran from officers who were called to a South Side street for a large crowd and gunfire, and they also found a handgun. Police were called at about 11:10 p.m. to the 3000 block of Idlewood Avenue for a report of a large fight and gunfire, and when officers showed up, several cars began leaving the area, and people were running. Police went to check behind a nearby home for someone who was seen running away and in a wooded area found a loaded 9mm handgun in a Sponge Bob backpack, reports said. The gun had a laser light attached, and the serial number was scratched off, reports said. One of the people who ran away was found by police in the 400 block of West Boston Avenue. Reports said he told officers he ran because he was scared. Because the Mahoning County Juvenile Justice Center refused to take him, the boy was cited for obstructing official business and released to a relative. No one was injured by the gunfire.
