A 64-year-old Murrieta daycare operator, Marvin Alberto Ulloa, has been charged with multiple counts of lewd acts on a minor and forced oral copulation of a child under 10 years old. Ulloa was arrested in January 2025 following a police investigation into allegations of abuse at his home-based Ulloa Family Daycare facility. A trial date has now been set for July 15, 2026.
Why it matters
The case highlights the vulnerability of children in home-based daycare settings and the need for stronger regulations and oversight to protect young children. Allegations of abuse at unlicensed daycares raise concerns about the safety of these facilities and the potential for predators to target children in these environments.
The details
Ulloa is charged with nine counts of lewd acts on a minor and two counts of forced oral copulation of a child under 10 years old. The alleged acts occurred at his home-based Ulloa Family Daycare facility between July 2020 and July 2023. Investigators were first contacted in January 2025 regarding possible molestation of a girl identified as "C.F." Additional evidence later surfaced regarding another alleged victim in 2024, leading to additional charges. There was no record of the home-based daycare being registered with the California Department of Social Services.
- Ulloa was arrested on January 28, 2025.
- The initial investigation began on January 7, 2025.
- The alleged acts occurred between July 2020 and July 2023.
- Additional charges were filed in March 2026.
- The trial is scheduled to begin on July 15, 2026.
