The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office most wanted person of the week is:
Cristopher Giovanni Martinez of Fresno. A bench warrant has been issued related to charges of attempting to meet a child for sexual purposes.
Detectives assigned to the Central California Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force conducted a proactive online operation focused on sexual predators targeting children. Using a social media app, Martinez engaged in conversation with a detective whom he believed to be a 13 year old girl. Martinez expressed a desire to meet this girl to have sex. He then traveled to a location where he thought he was going to meet the teen, but instead encountered detectives who arrested him.
Martinez was booked into the Fresno County Jail and released two days later after posting bond. He has since failed to report to his court hearings.
Cristopher Martinez is 33 years old, 5’10”, 160 lbs., with brown eyes and black hair.
