VISALIA, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - A Visalia man has been found guilty of sex crimes against minors on Wednesday, the Tulare County District's Attorney Office said.
On Wednesday, the DA's Office said a jury at trial found 41-year-old Patrick Fuller guilty 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, the DA says, also found true that Fuller committed the crimes against multiple victims and that some of the acts constituted substantial sexual conduct. The crimes were committed against two female minors between 2012 and 2017.
Officials say sentencing is set for Nov. 8 in the Tulare County Superior Court where Fuller faces up to life in state prison. Additionally, he would be required to register as a sex offender.
