In late August 2026, Pullman Police officers began investigating a suspected sexual offense, involving a juvenile victim, which occurred within the City of Pullman. As an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) partner agency, Pullman PD detectives leveraged specialized technology and training to develop probable cause that a crime had occurred.
On September 14, 2026, Pullman Police officers and detectives located and detained 21-year-old Carlos Alarcon-Lorenzana of Pullman. After further investigation, Alarcon-Lorenzana was arrested and booked into the Whitman County Jail, on charges of R**e of a Child 3rd Degree, and Communicating with a Minor for Immoral Purposes, both Class C felonies.
There are no additional suspects related to this investigation, and there is no ongoing risk to the community.
Pullman PD recognizes the outstanding work of its dedicated investigators, who work tirelessly to improve public safety within the City of Pullman.
