A Tulare County jury convicted Yovani Martinez, 33, of molesting a young girl multiple times over five years and possessing child pornography on Wednesday.

In all, the jury in a Visalia courtroom found Martinez, a Tulare resident, guilty on 10 felony counts.
The jury also found true the special allegation of substantial sexual conduct, Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward said in a news release.
The crimes occurred between January 1, 2012, and February 10, 2017, against the girl, who was less than 8 years old at the time the sexual assaults began.
Maximum Sentence: Nearly 50 Years

His sentencing is set for June 23 back in Department 6 of the Visalia court.
Deputy District Attorney Chelsea Wayt prosecuted and Tulare Police Corp. Cynthia Vasquez investigated the case.
