A Marin County jury has convicted a San Rafael man of three counts of child molestation.
Santos Diego Velasquez-Gomez, 45, was arrested in 2019 after an investigation by the San Rafael Police Department. Police alleged that he committed lewd acts with a girl over a period of several years.
Velasquez-Gomez was released from jail while the case worked its way through court. The jury trial started Jan. 17 before Judge Geoffrey Howard. The jury reached its verdict Wednesday. Howard declared a mistrial on a fourth count, said Deputy District Attorney Jack Shannon.
Deputies booked Velasquez-Gomez into the county jail after the verdict. The sentencing is set for Feb. 29. Velasquez-Gomez could face up to five years in state prison, Shannon said.
