(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – In Yuba County Court, a jury has found 37-year-old Uriel Solorio Lopez of Olivehurst, guilty of five felony counts of child molestation involving two victims.

An investigation was launched just over a year ago when one of the victims confided to her aunt. The victim told investigators that Lopez began the molesting at the age of ten.

A second victim came forward, when “news of Lopez’s arrest spread” according to a press release from the District Attorney. That victim told investigators the abuse occurred from the ages of 12 to 15, and the victim came forward only after learning Lopez was behind bars because he had threatened to hurt her if she told.

Lopez continues being held without bail and faces 25-to-life at sentencing February 2nd.
