Jury Convicts Vacaville Man For Molesting Underage Girl For Years

SOLANO COUNTY, CA -- A Solano County Superior Court jury convicted a Vacaville man Friday of forcing an 8-year-old girl to perform sex acts with him until she was in high school, the Solano County District Attorney's Office said.

Alejandro Zamora faces 74 years and eight months in prison when he is sentenced Aug. 17, according to the district attorney's office.

Zamora started molesting the girl when she was 8, and the offenses progressed to forced oral copulation, sodomy and sexual intercourse, according to the district attorney's office.

The assaults continued until the girl was in high school when her boyfriend prompted her to tell her mother in October 2015 about the abuse. The mother then contacted Vacaville police.

DNA analysis corroborated the girl's statements and Zamora gave conflicting accounts when interviewed by police. He eventually admitted committing the offenses, the district attorney's office said.

Zamora held a position of trust with the girl, who is now 17 and testified at Zamora's trial.

The jury convicted Zamora of one count of sodomy, two counts of oral copulation, three counts of statutory rape, one count of committing a lewd act and continuous sexual abuse of a child.
