SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, Calif. - San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow announced that 31-year-old Arroyo Grande resident Cody Julian has been found guilty of sexually abusing a child under the age of 10 in 2016.
The San Luis Obispo County jury convicted Julian after a two-and-a-half week long jury trial. Julian has been charged for multiple sex crimes against a minor child including lewd acts with a child and substantial sexual abuse of a child under 10.
“We thank the jury for their efforts in this sensitive and emotional case,” said Dow. “The survivor demonstrated remarkable courage by reporting the crimes and participating in the criminal and victim justice process necessary to bring this predator to justice. We are optimistic that this conviction will encourage victims of sexual assault to report the conduct to law enforcement.”
