Solano Co. Man Convicted Of Molesting Boy 'Accidentally'

SOLANO COUNTY, CA — A Solano County jury found a Vacaville man guilty Friday of molesting a 10-year-old boy. Oscar Camarillo Campos is scheduled to be sentenced May 7 for two felony counts of engaging in lewd and lascivious acts with a child younger than 14 as well as a special allegation that he engaged in substantial sexual conduct with a child, the Solano County District Attorney's Office said Monday in a statement.

"The defendant violated a position of trust with a 10-year-old child, who he molested on two separate occasions," said Solano County District Attorney Krishna Abrams.

A few weeks later, according to the DA's Office, the boy told his parent about the incidents. The parent in turn contacted the Vacaville Police Department and an investigation was initiated.

Vacaville police Detective Andrew Talton contacted the boy and had a forensic interview conducted.

Vacaville police investigators learned Campos was an acquaintance of the boy's mother and had befriended the family.

"During the investigation, the defendant claimed all of the acts happened, but that they occurred accidentally," Abrams said.

Deputy District Attorney Daniel Madow prosecuted the case.
