HARTFORD, Conn. — A man from the Unionville section of Farmington was found guilty of multiple counts of sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor during proceedings at Hartford Superior Court on Monday, according to a release from the state’s Division of Criminal Justice.
David Olivo, 43, was found guilty on two counts of second-degree sexual assault, one count of fourth-degree sexual assault and two counts of risk of injury to a minor, prosecutors said.
At trial, evidence included the testimony of two minor victims who separately reported to Farmington police that they had been sexually assaulted by Olivo on different occasions.
According to prosecutors, one victim said that on July 1, 2020, during a sleepover at Olivo’s home, the victim wanted to return to their home. Olivo offered to drive the victim home and sexually assaulted the victim during the ride, prosecutors said.
The testimony also revealed that on Feb. 6, 2021, Olivo picked up a group of minors and brought them back to his home for a sleepover party. Prosecutors said that in the early morning hours of the next day, a second victim woke up and entered the kitchen looking for a drink. Olivo was in the kitchen at this time and sexually assaulted the victim, according to prosecutors.

State’s Attorney Sharmese Walcott applauded the young victims in the release.
“The bravery and commitment of the young victims who stood strong during their testimony to a jury made up of people they have never met is remarkable,” Walcott said, in the release. “I thank the jury for their time, and I thank these young witnesses for their model of strength and courage.”
According to prosecutors, Olivo will be sentenced on Sept. 4 in Hartford Superior Court.
