Cal Fire firefighter arrested in Sacramento area indecent assault investigation

RANCHO CORDOVA – A firefighter was arrested for exposing himself at a Sacramento County car wash earlier this year, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said.

Officers with the Rancho Cordova Police Department received reports that a man exposed himself and attempted to speak to a woman on Sunrise Boulevard, officers said. The woman was able to leave and call the police.

Through the investigation, Clifford Robinson, 32, was identified as the suspect. The investigation revealed that Robinson had been arrested for a similar offense several years prior and was a registered sex offender.

Detectives then learned that Robsinon was a firefighter for Cal Fire.

After obtaining an arrest warrant, Robinson was arrested at his home and jailed for indecent exposure of private parts in a public place.

Deputies said he posted $10,000 bail and was released a few hours later.

Detectives are now asking for the public's help in identifying other potential victims.

Cal Fire provided the statement below:

“CAL FIRE requires its employees to adhere to standards of professional conduct, both on and off duty. We are aware of this criminal matter and are monitoring it closely.”

The department could not confirm Robinson's employment history at this time.
