Following a six-day jury trial in Napa County Superior Court, a jury convicted a 36-year-old Napa man of 17 charges involving child molestation.
The convictions are the result of sexual contact the defendant, Flemin Fernando Martinez, had with three family members and one family friend between 2011 and 2019 in Napa County. The survivors were between 7and 16 years old at the time of the molestations, District Attorney Allison Haley said in a news release.
The defendant, who was arrested in October 2019, was found guilty of 12 counts of lewd act upon a child, two counts of oral copulation with a child 10 or under, one count of forcible rape of a child over 14, one count of using a minor for sex acts, and one count of possession of matter depicting a minor engaging in sexual conduct, the DA s office said. Judge Mark Boessenecker presided over the trial which ended April 20.

Stop Syar Expansion has the choice of appealing to the California Supreme Court.
âWeâre still considering our options,â Kathy Felch, a member of Stop Syar Expansion who lives less than a mile from the quarry, said on Tuesday. âWeâll probably make a decision in the next week or so.â
Barring further appeals, Syar can expand its 497-acre quarry mining area in the hills near Napa State Hospital by 106 acres to remove basalt and other rocks. It can increase production from a million tons of rock annually to 1.3 million tons annually.
Syar officials have said a bigger quarry is needed to keep providing basalt for the regionâs roads and other construction projects. Without the expansion, the quarry will run out of basalt to mine.
