As a result, investigators from the Riverside Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit launched an investigation into the allegations.

The investigation revealed that 42-year-old Cecilia Pulido, a resident of Moreno Valley, had an inappropriate relationship with a juvenile while she was a correctional officer. On January 24, 2025, Pulido was arrested and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center for annoying and molesting a child, sexual contact with a prisoner or inmate, and other additional charges.
