Former Greenville police officer pleads guilty to child exploitation

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

A former Greenville police officer pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and was sentenced to 100 days in jail.

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

Olivares was arrested in September 2025 by the SBI for two counts of first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, three counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, and three counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. Arrest warrants stated that Olivares used a 16-year-old girl to create videos with her engaged in sexual activity.

The 30-year-old received two consecutive suspended sentences of six to 17 months, meaning he will avoid prison unless he violates the terms of his eight years of supervised probation. The judge ordered him to serve 100 days in jail under the state's Misdemeanant Confinement Program. He must register as a sex offender. Olivares 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 the department had received about him.
