BAKERSFIELD, CA (KUZZ) — A Bakersfield man has been found guilty of sexually abusing a 15-year-old relative.
Ricardo Alvarez, 37, was convicted Tuesday of lewd and lascivious acts with a child and unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor under 16 after he assaulted a 15-year-old girl during an overnight stay at the girl’s house after helping her family move.
The Kern County District Attorney’s Office says DNA evidence helped prosecutors convict Alvarez, who returns to court for sentencing on May 5, 2026.
Alvarez could spend more than five years in prison.
