GREENFIELD — Monterey County District Attorney’s Office announced Jan. 15 that Jubentino Matias Aguilar, 46, 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 — ages 8 and 12 — told her that Aguilar, 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,” according to the DA’s Office. “Both girls provided invaluable assistance to the officers investigating their case.”
After Aguilar was arrested, he made a statement to officers in which he admitted to engaging in sexual contact with the two young girls.
He entered pleas of no contest to four counts of forcible lewd acts on a child. The charges constitute four “strikes” under California’s Three Strikes Law, and he 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,” stated the DA’s Office. “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.”
