Humberto De La Cruz, a supervisor at an independently owned and operated Sonic restaurant in Bexar County, TX, has been charged with indecency with a child by contact and indecent exposure. This follows a teenage employee coming forward with claims that he allegedly forced himself on her.
According to KENS 5, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said the department became aware of the allegations when the 17-year-old informed her teacher on November 20th. De La Cruz was in a supervisory position over the victim and apparently committed acts of indecency when they were in small spaces.
The supervisor was accused of following the teen into the restroom and “forcing himself upon her”. Salazar reported two incidents that occurred in August and September. He said that in some of the instances, De La Cruz removed articles of clothing from the victim against her will.
The Sheriff praised the teen for reporting the supervisor. He said, “This young lady [was] very brave. I am glad she let her educator know that had happened. She did let supervisors know that this had been occurring. She was asking her supervisors if anything was going to be done about this.”
De La Cruz, who is a registered sex offender after an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old in 2005, was reassigned to a different location. Sonic's corporate office said they are cooperating with local authorities and that any further details should be referred to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
The incident is still under investigation. Anyone with information regarding the incident should contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office at 210-335-6000 or email
