SAN BERNARDINO -- Police arrested a man accused of sexually abusing his girlfriend’s 1-year-old child in the San Bernardino area then reportedly threatening the woman with a gun.

Edgar Alvarado Gonzalez, 26, whose last address was in Los Angeles, was arrested Tuesday and charged Thursday on suspicion of lewd acts with a child under the age of 14, sexual penetration with a foreign object of a child under the age of 14, robbery and making criminal threats, San Bernardino County sheriff’s booking records show.

The child’s gender was not released as of Thursday morning.

A witness reportedly walked into the child’s bedroom and saw Gonzalez molesting the child, said San Bernardino police Lt. Mike Madden.

“A scuffle ensued, and the suspect left the location on foot,” Madden said Thursday.

Soon after, the child’s mother came home, and the witness told the mother of the reported sexual attack on the child, Madden said.

As the women were getting ready to leave the home to report the alleged abuse, Madden said Gonzalez returned and pointed a firearm at the mother and threatened to hurt her if they went to police. He also took the mother’s cellphone.

A short time later, as the women and the child were driving to the San Bernardino Police Department, Gonzalez pulled up alongside them in another vehicle and again brandished a weapon at the women, officials said.

The women reported the alleged abuse and the threats to investigators. Officers found Gonzalez about an hour later in the 300 block of West Ninth Street, Madden said.

A search of Gonzalez’s records shows he has several outstanding traffic warrants in San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties.

Authorities are not certain if there may be other victims as the case is still under investigation.

Gonzalez was booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga and is being held in lieu of $250,000 bail.
