28-year-old Sparks resident Jesse Barrera has been found guilty of 4 counts of Sexual Assault on a Child Under 14, and 3 counts of Lewdness with a Child Under the Age of 14 Years.
In January of 2022, Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Detectives arrested Barrera after WCSO Deputies responded to a report of possible inappropriate sexual touching of a minor.
During the investigation, Detectives determined that Barrera had begun abusing the victim when the minor was 7 years old, and that it continued over the next three years. WCSO detectives obtained a full confession of the crimes.
Sentencing is set for October 24, 2023, in the courtroom of Honorable Judge Barry Breslow.
