Greenfield Man Convicted of Child Abuse

SALINAS, California—Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced that on on Thursday, December 17, 2020 a jury found 38-year-old Marcelo De Jesus of Greenfield guilty of child abuse. On November 14, 2019, a 15-year-old girl skipped school and went to the movies with her friends. When she reached home, the defendant brought her into a bedroom and lashed her with a belt several times. The lashings left several welts on her body. The girl's sisters called 911 crying on the line, stating that her father was hitting her sister. The 15-year-old girl was screaming in the background. Greenfield police officers responded to the 911 call and heard multiple female voices crying and screaming from the bedroom at an increasing volume. Due to the circumstances of someone or multiple people possibly being hurt, the responding officers busted open the front door after no one inside answered their knocks. The police arrested the defendant and notified Child Protective Services of the 5 crying juveniles in the home. After the verdict, the defendant was remanded in custody. On December 18, 2020, the Honorable Robert A. Burlison sentenced the defendant to 42 days in custody, four years’ probation, and 52 weeks of parenting classes. The case was investigated by officers from the Greenfield Police Department.
