Stanislaus County has delivered a heavy verdict in a deeply disturbing case of repeated sexual assault against a child. District Attorney Jeff Laugero announced that Filemon Olmos, age 38, of Ceres, was convicted on multiple charges, including sexual assault of a child 10 years old or younger and five counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14 years old. According to the Stanislaus County District Attorney's office, Olmos is now facing an extensive sentence that could extend to 85 years to life in prison, with the sentencing set for January 28, 2025.
Shared through a social media post, these convictions find their dreadful roots in acts that spanned from 2017 through 2022, during which Olmos sexually assaulted the victim, started when she was just 7 years old, two to three times a week. Suffering in silence, facing fear that keeps many a heart in captivity, it wasn't until years had passed that the victim summoned the courage to confide in a police officer about the abuse she was enduring.
The Ceres Police Department acted swiftly upon the victim's report, launching an investigation that concluded with the apprehension of Filemon Olmos. Assiduously worked by detectives with the Ceres Police Department, this case represents diligence and a commitment to justice for the harms inflicted upon the most vulnerable among us — our children. Assistant Chief Deputy District Attorney Sam Luzadas prosecuted this case on behalf of the people, ensuring that the weight of the evidence bore down upon the scales of justice.
