Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 6 Nov, 05:28 · Archive

Former Greenville police officer Dominic Olivares pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.

Dominic Olivares, a 30-year-old former Greenville police officer, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to two counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. Six other counts, including first- and second-degree sexual exploitation charges, were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

Olivares was arrested in September 2025 by the state bureau of investigation after warrants were issued alleging he used a 16-year-old girl to create videos involving her engaged in sexual activity. He was hired as a Greenville police officer in May 2020 and was fired on 5 August 2021, two months after the investigation began following a complaint to the department.

The judge ordered Olivares to serve 100 days in jail under the state's Misdemeanant Confinement Program. He received two consecutive suspended sentences of six to 17 months, which means he will avoid prison if he complies with the terms of his eight-year supervised probation. He is required to register as a sex offender.
