Greenfield Man Sentenced to 40 Years in Prison for 4 Counts of Child Molestation Involving 3 Victims

 

SALINAS, California- Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced on December 20 that on December 19, 2024, the Honorable Rafael Vazquez sentenced 38-year-old Eleuterio Dominguez Ortiz of Greenfield, to 40 years in prison for committing 4 counts of forcible

lewd acts upon a child under 14. These offenses are serious and violent felonies and considered

strikes under California’s Three Strikes law. Ortiz will also be required to register as a sex offender

for the rest of his life.

John Doe reported that Ortiz, a family member, had molested him on at least 2 separate occasions

when he was in the 4th grade. John Doe’s brave disclosure to law enforcement caused Jane Doe

1 and Jane Doe 2 to disclose that Ortiz had molested them as well when they were very young.

According to research into sexual assault victim behavior, it is very common for victims to delay

reporting the sexual abuse, especially when the victim is a minor and has a close relationship with

the perpetrator.

This case was investigated by Greenfield Police Detectives Armando Lerma and Joseph Dyels as

well as other Greenfield Police Officers. The victims in this case were assisted by Victim Witness

Program Manager Alma Sanchez.

On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau.   Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted.
