SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — A San Luis Obispo County jury has convicted Teodulo Vasquezjimenez (41) of 15 felony counts of sexually abusing two child victims over a period of many years.

The convictions include 14 counts of lewd acts upon a child under the age of 14 and one count of lewd acts upon a child age 14. The offenses occurred in Paso Robles between 2009 and 2023.

The jury also found that Vasquezjimenez committed the crimes against multiple victims and abused a position of trust. These findings significantly increase the penalties he faces.

Vasquezjimenez now faces a maximum sentence of 280 years to life in state prison. Sentencing is scheduled for August 11 at 1:30 p.m. in Department 1 of the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court.

“This verdict reflects the courage of the victims who came forward and the careful, thoughtful work of our criminal and victim justice system,” said District Attorney Dan Dow. “We are deeply grateful to the jury for their time, attention, and commitment to evaluating difficult and disturbing evidence. Their service ensured accountability and helps bring a measure of justice to the victims in this case.”

The case was investigated by the Paso Robles Police Department and prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Kristin Barnard of the District Attorney’s Sex Crimes Unit.

The District Attorney’s Office encourages anyone who has experienced sexual abuse to come forward and seek support. Confidential victim services are available through the Christopher G. Money Victim Witness Assistance Center.
