A Visalia man was sentenced to life in prison Friday after being convicted of multiple child molestation charges, the Tulare County District Attorney’s Office announced on Monday.

Patrick Fuller, 42, of Visalia, was found guilty in October 2024 of three felony counts of child molestation, one felony count of possession of child pornography, and 14 felony counts of using minors for sex acts.

The jury also determined that Fuller’s crimes involved multiple victims and substantial sexual conduct.

The offenses, committed against two female minors between 2012 and 2017, prompted the court to impose a life sentence, with Fuller required to serve at least 25 years before being considered for parole.

Fuller is also ordered to register as a sex offender.
