Tapia pleaded guilty to Count 1, PC 288 (a) lewd and lascivious act against minor Jane Doe. dismissed Count 2 PC 288 (a) was dismissed. Jury trial scheduled for 8/7 was vacated. Sentencing is on 8/15.
Deputy District Attorney Whitney Timm is the prosecutor on this case but she is in the middle of jury selection in a homicide trial so Deputy DA Luke Bernthal appeared for the People in court for her. Deputy Conflict Counsel Owen Tipps is Tapia's attorney. Retired Judge Christopher Wilson took the plea.
