Police have arrested a former Orange County youth soccer coach for allegedly soliciting a minor for sexual activity.
Whittier Police Department identified the suspect as Michel Alvarez Macedo.
Macedo has worked as a soccer coach with Fullerton Rangers FC, a youth soccer club, and the Fullerton College Women’s Soccer Program.
Macedo was accused of soliciting a minor for sexual activity through Instagram, authorities said.
He was taken into custody by Whittier police as the incident remains under investigation.
The Fullerton City Council will vote on the consent calendar for the August 18 meeting on a rewritten lease for The Old Spaghetti Factory at the city’s historic train depot that staff projects would raise the restaurant’s annual payments to the city by 54 percent in the first year and by 119 percent by 2041. For comparison, Bushala Brothers, Inc. leases the train station, cafe and adjacent properties at 120–140 E. Santa Fe Avenue from the city. They pay roughly $0.29 per square foot per month — about $3.48 per square foot annually — for 6,248 square feet, totaling approximately $22,000 a year, according to figures cited at the July 15, 2025 council meeting.
The proposed Second Addendum to the 1983 lease at 110 E. Santa Fe Ave. sets a guaranteed base rent of $260,000 for the year beginning June 1, 2026, rising to $275,000 annually through May 2031. It also raises the city’s share of restaurant sales above a rolling breakpoint from 4 percent to 6.25 percent. The city collected $227,961 from the restaurant in 2025 and $225,093 in 2024, according to the staff report prepared by Economic Development Manager James Wurtz and submitted by Community and Economic Development Director Sunayana Thomas.
Staff estimates the new terms would generate about $351,707 in the first year — roughly $2.03 per square foot per month, compared with $1.31 under the current arrangement — and roughly $500,278 in the fifteenth year. Over the full potential 15-year term, the report projects about $6.5 million in rent, or $6.72 million including a new $15,000 annual payment toward common area maintenance.
The council reviewed the negotiated terms in closed session July 21 and directed staff to proceed. The item returns in open session for formal approval of Resolution No. 2026-XXX, which would authorize Mayor Fred Jung to execute the agreement and the city manager or a designee to administer it. Council options listed in the report are to approve the motion, decline to adopt the resolution, or pursue other alternatives.
The addendum establishes an initial five-year term running June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031, with two additional five-year extension options. Base rent would climb to $352,000 annually during the first option period beginning June 2031 and to $387,200 in June 2036, with 2.5 percent annual adjustments thereafter tied to the Consumer Price Index. The document specifies that total annual rent may not fall below the applicable base rent regardless of gross receipts.
The agreement also rewrites the definition of “Gross Receipts” to capture on-premises dining, takeout, digital orders, third-party delivery, merchandise, catering, events, surcharges and service fees — categories that did not exist or were marginal when the original lease was drafted. Sales taxes, gratuities passed to employees, bona fide refunds, credit card processing fees and third-party delivery fees are excluded.
Audit provisions are strengthened. The city may audit the tenant’s revenue once a year at the company’s corporate office with at least 10 business days’ notice. If an audit finds an underpayment of more than 3 percent, the tenant must pay the cost of the audit plus 10 percent annual interest on the amount underpaid.
A separate section addresses the adjacent public parking lot, acknowledging that the city has deferred maintenance there. The city commits to resurfacing the lot within the first two years of the term and to keeping it accessible during construction, with alternative parking for restaurant customers.
Staff argues the property has no true market comparison. At 14,436 square feet, the restaurant is more than three times the size of the average restaurant space available for lease in Fullerton, which the report puts at 4,382 square feet, with the largest available listing at 6,840 square feet. Independent data cited in the report supports a range of roughly $2 to $4.50 or more per square foot per month on a triple-net basis for comparable Orange County restaurant properties.
The report says staff reviewed CoStar lease data, comparable restaurant transactions, occupancy-cost benchmarks, Placer.ai foot traffic data, broker opinions and sales at other Old Spaghetti Factory locations, and consulted Cushman & Wakefield along with other brokers. Those brokers confirmed the terms are reasonable given the building’s size, historic preservation restrictions, limited pool of replacement tenants and the improvement costs the city would face if the space were re-leased, according to the report.
The city’s relationship with the restaurant dates to a lease executed June 21, 1983, between the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Fullerton and The Old Spaghetti Factory of Fullerton, Inc., in connection with relocating and restoring the historic depot. That agreement required the tenant to finance construction at its own cost and to preserve the historical and architectural integrity of the Union Pacific Depot Building. Rent began at $1 for the period ending Oct. 31, 1984, then $15,000 a year.
Under the structure established by a first addendum in April 2010, monthly base rent functions as an advance against an annual percentage rent obligation, with the city ultimately receiving 4 percent of gross receipts. That agreement anticipated that a successor lease would be negotiated at fair market rental value on maturity.
Chris Dussin, president of the lessee entity, signed the addendum on July 24. Dussin and his wife, Letty, were named in the 1983 lease as permitted assignees; Chris Dussin is the son of Guss Dussin, the chain’s founder.
The documents are not fully consistent on the tenant’s identity. The staff reports names OSF International, LLC as the counterparty, while the resolution and the addendum itself identify Fullerton Spaghetti Restaurant, Inc., a California corporation. A rent table in the addendum also lists a period ending May 29, 2031, while the surrounding text sets the initial term’s expiration at May 31, 2031.
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act, and a notice of exemption would be filed if the resolution passes.
On July 15, 2026, Fullerton Police Department Sensitive Crimes Unit Detectives traveled to the City of Los Angeles to serve an arrest warrant on Claudio Marino HernandezLopez, a 40-year-old Los Angeles resident, following an investigation into allegations of child sexual abuse involving a female victim who was between 4 and 12 years old at the time the reported offenses occurred.
In January 2026, Fullerton Police Sensitive Crimes Unit Detectives began investigating HernandezLopez after receiving a police report from an outside law enforcement agency in Los Angeles County regarding allegations of sexual abuse that occurred within the City of Fullerton.
Following his arrest, HernandezLopez was transported to the Fullerton City Jail, where he was booked for violating Penal Code section 288.7(a). He is currently being held in lieu of $1,000,000 bail.
The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with additional information, or anyone who believes they may have been an unreported victim of HernandezLopez,
GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (KABC) -- A Garden Grove police officer was arrested and placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into alleged inappropriate interactions with a juvenile explorer.

Machuca was relieved of his duties as a police officer and placed on administrative leave, police said.
The juvenile was participating in the department's explorer program, which is for youth interested in law enforcement.
"The safety and security of our youth volunteers remains a top priority," a police spokesperson said in a statement.
Machuca, 32, has been with the department for several years.
The investigation remains ongoing. Garden Grove police said no additional information is being released at this time.
Police said the case will be forwarded to the Orange County District Attorney's Office once the investigation is complete.
SANTA ANA – A former California State Parks Superintendent has been charged with secretly filming nearly two
dozen naked state lifeguards and other workers inside an employee locker room at the Bolsa Chica State Beach
Lifeguard Headquarters in Huntington Beach and sending nude images of three different victims with two other
men.
Kevin Pearsall, 59, of Long Beach, has been charged with five felony counts of eavesdropping, 23 misdemeanor
counts of secretly filming another, and three misdemeanor counts of unlawful dissemination of private
recordings. He faces a maximum sentence of 18 years and eight months in the Orange County Jail if convicted
on all counts.
Pearsall turned himself in on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, on a $500,00 arrest warrant and was released by a judge
on his own recognizance. He is scheduled to be arraigned at the Stephen K. Tamura West Justice Center in
Westminster on August 6, 2026, in Department W-12.
In July 2025, a sworn California State Park officer discovered a USB stick in the men’s employee locker room at
Bolsa Chica State Beach Lifeguard Headquarters, and after reviewing the content which included videos of state
employees undressing in the locker room, California State Parks contacted the California Highway Patrol (CHP)
to conduct an investigation into the USB stick which contained a hidden camera.
The CHP investigation revealed California State Parks Superintendent Kevin Pearsall was responsible for placing
hidden cameras in the locker room, which recorded both audio and video, and using the hidden cameras to
record numerous videos over an 11-month period beginning in August 2024.
From 2023 through July of 2025, Pearsall served as a California State Parks Superintendent, which is a sworn
law enforcement position overseeing the management and operations of state parks in the Orange Coast
District, including Orange County.
Pearsall was employed by California State Parks since 1994 until he retired in July 2025 after he was placed on
administrative leave while under investigation.

The employee locker room at Bolsa Chica State Park is not open to the public, but it is accessible to full-time
personnel, seasonal lifeguards, office staff, maintenance, and park aides. The hidden camera captured both
audio and video from August 2024 through July 2025 when the USB stick was discovered.
The CHP investigation identified 23 different men who had their genitals or buttocks filmed by the hidden
camera placed in the employee locker room by Pearsall. None of the men agreed to be recorded.
Pearsall is accused of sending several of the photographs he recorded of nude or partially nude men in the
locker room to two men, and making sexually charged comments about his employees’ genitals.
“Instead of protecting his employees, Pearsall used his position to spy on the men who worked for him while
they were in the place where they should have been the safest and then share those intimate images of his
victims,” said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer. “These victims had their privacy violated in such a
disgusting way, and we will do everything we can to ensure they receive the justice they deserve.”
Senior Deputy District Attorney Stephanie Caughlin of the Sexual Assault Unit is prosecuting this case.
