Oxnard Man Convicted of 11 Felony Child Abuse Counts; Sentencing Set for December 14

OXNARD — November 7, 2026. Ventura County Superior Court Judge Paul Feldman found Pedro Ocampo Alvarez guilty of 11 felony counts involving sexual abuse of a child in a court trial that concluded November 4.

How the case was tried

Alvarez waived a jury trial, and the judge evaluated evidence involving offenses against a child who was about ten years old when the alleged conduct was reported in 2022. The verdict includes findings under multiple child-protection statutes and special allegations concerning the victim’s vulnerability. California58 is omitting graphic descriptions and identifying details about the child.

What the prosecutor reported

According to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, neighbors brought concerns to the child’s family, and Oxnard police investigated. The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Tessa McCarty of the Sexual Assault Unit.

Next court date

Sentencing is scheduled December 14 at 9 a.m. The prosecution says Alvarez faces a potential sentence of up to 74 years and eight months to life, but that is not the sentence already imposed. A guilty verdict has been entered; the precise punishment remains for the court. Residents seeking information about child safety can contact their local child-protective services or law enforcement; immediate danger should be reported to 911.
