A San Luis Obispo County jury has convicted a Nipomo man of molesting three children over the course of several years.

William Martinez Perez, 59, was found guilty of six felony counts of lewd acts on a child under the age of 14.

The abuse reportedly occurred between 2001 and 2005 and between 2011 and 2016.

The jury deliberated for just a half-day after a nearly week-long trial.

Perez is scheduled to be sentenced on November 20. He faces a maximum sentence of life in state prison.
