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

A former Greenville police officer has pleaded guilty to child pornography possession.

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

Olivares received two consecutive suspended sentences of six to 17 months. He will avoid prison if he complies with eight years of supervised probation. The judge ordered him to serve 100 days in jail under the state's Misdemeanant Confinement Program and to register as a sex offender.

Olivares was arrested in September 2025 by the SBI on charges related to using a 16-year-old girl to create videos of 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 SBI began investigating a complaint about him.
