A 23-year-old Selma man was arrested Thursday following a multi-agency investigation into the sexual assault of multiple minors, Kingsburg police said.<\/p>\n
Matthew Rios was taken into custody after officers executed a search warrant at his Selma residence in a joint operation involving the Kingsburg Police Department, the Central California Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Fresno County Adult Compliance Team.<\/p>\n
The investigation began in November 2025 after Kingsburg police began investigating the sexual assault of a minor in the city of Kingsburg.<\/p>\n
Through interviews, detectives identified Rios as the suspect and later determined he had allegedly victimized additional minors from other cities in Fresno and Tulare counties.<\/p>\n
Police said all known victims are minors, some as young as 12 years old.<\/p>\n
Investigators said Rios specifically targeted minors, contacted them through social media platforms and arranged to have them sneak away from their family homes to meet with him.<\/p>\n
Rios was booked into the Fresno County Jail on numerous felony charges. The department said they will not release an image of the suspect at this time.<\/p>\n
