Dominic Olivares, a former police officer in Greenville, North Carolina, has been sentenced to 100 days in jail following his guilty plea to possessing child pornography.
On Wednesday, the 30-year-old man pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. As part of the plea deal, prosecutors dropped six other charges, which included first- and second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
The judge handed Olivares two consecutive suspended sentences ranging from six to 17 months. He will avoid prison unless he violates the terms of his eight years of supervised probation. In addition to the jail time, Olivares is required to register as a sex offender.
Olivares joined the Greenville police department in May 2020. The State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) was brought in to look into a complaint against him, and he was dismissed from his position on Aug. 5, 2021. Authorities arrested him in September 2025 on eight total counts of sexual exploitation.
Warrants issued at the time of his arrest stated that Olivares used a 16-year-old girl to create videos showing her engaged in sexual activity. The SBI handled the initial investigation before his eventual conviction in court this week.
