Ex-LAPD officer arrested for allegedly raping child under 14

LAPD officials said the alleged incident occurred prior to Diego Jose Miranda Lopez joining the force.

LOS ANGELES - A former officer for the Los Angeles Police Department assigned to the North Hollywood area was arrested Thursday following allegations he raped a child under the age of 14.

LAPD officials said the alleged sexual assault occurred before he worked for the department.

Diego Jose Miranda Lopez worked as a probationary officer and resigned from his position when he was confronted with the allegations.

The case is scheduled to be reviewed by the LA County District Attorney’s Office on Monday, April 24 for filing considerations.

Lopez was booked at the Valley Jail on the charge of forcible rape of a child under 14 years old. He is being held without bail.
