A jury found a Paso Robles man guilty Thursday of felony child sex crimes.
Juan Antonio Esquivel, 31, was convicted of committing a lewd act on a child under the age of 14 and sexual penetration by a foreign object on a child under 14.
The incident of sexual abuse reportedly occurred in December of 2016.
The jury returned with a verdict after a half-day of deliberations following a two-week trial.
Esquivel is scheduled to be sentenced on July 2 and faces a maximum sentence of eight years in state prison. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.
