On November 6, 2020, a jury found Anthony Robert Ultreras (DOB 02/27/81), of Camarillo, guilty of lewd acts with a child under 14 and child molest. Ultreras had previously pled guilty to a charge of possession of child pornography and admitted a prior conviction for lewd acts with a child under 14.
On March 4, 2020, Ultreras approached a 13-year-old girl on a public bus in the city of Ventura. He asked for her phone number, suggested they engage in oral and vaginal intercourse, and followed her off the bus to her home. Before she entered her home, he grabbed her hands, asked for a kiss, and felt her hands and arms, reaching under her clothing. The victim pulled away and retreated into her home.
The Ventura Police Department was notified and began an investigation which ultimately identified Ultreras as the perpetrator. After his arrest, forensic examination of his phone revealed evidence of child pornography featuring young girls similar in age to the victim.
Sentencing is set for December 14, 2020, at 9:30 a.m., in courtroom 24 of the Ventura County Superior Court. Ultreras faces a maximum sentence of 44 years 8 months to life in prison.
This case was investigated by the Ventura Police Department and prosecuted by the District Attorney’s Sexual Assault and Family Protection Unit.
