Greenfield Man Sentenced to 40 Years in Prison for Child Molestation

 

SALINAS, California - Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced on January 15 that 46-year-old Jubentino Matias Aguilar of Greenfield, was sentenced to 40 years in state

prison by Judge Pamela Butler.

On April 11, 2023, the victims mother brought them to the Greenfield Police Department after her

daughters, Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 – aged 8 and 12 - told her that the defendant, who had previously

been a member of the household, had sexually molested them while he had lived with the family.

Officers obtained detailed statements from the girls, in which they described multiple sexual assaults by

the defendant. Both girls provided invaluable assistance to the officers investigating their case. After

the defendant was arrested, he made a statement to officers in which he admitted to engaging in sexual

contact with the 2 young girls.

The defendant entered pleas of no contest to 4 counts of Forcible Lewd Acts on a Child. The charges

constitute four “strikes” under California’s Three Strikes Law. The defendant will be required to

register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

At the defendant’s sentencing hearing, both girls bravely addressed the Court and talked about what

happened to them and how it impacted their lives. Judge Butler commended them for their strength in

reporting these crimes to their mother and the police, and in having the courage to come to court to tell

her how they felt.

This case was investigated by Greenfield Police Officers Nicholas Nunez, Leonel Guzman and Joseph

Dyels. The victims and their mother were supported by Victim Services Manager Alma Sanchez and

Victim Advocate Sonia Buenrostro. Court Facility Support Dogs Norma Jeane and Armani provided the

victims with support at the sentencing hearing.
