Press release from the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office:
Today, Judge John Feeney sentenced Trinidad Cortez Gomez (47) (
38) of McKinleyville, to serve 8 years in prison after being convicted by a Humboldt County jury on June 2 of two felony counts of child sexual abuse of a girl in her early adolescence.Gomez molested the young girl on one occasion in his home and another in his car. The child disclosed the abuse to her mother, who did not report it to police. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office began to investigate after receiving a cross report from Child Welfare Services. The child participated in a CAST interview and disclosed what Gomez had done.
During the trial, jurors heard testimony from District Attorney Investigator Ryan Hill, describing cell phone evidence, which revealed Gomez seeking out sexual contact with the minor victim. Gomez testified that he had worked as a local school employee for seventeen years. While testifying, Gomez admitted to masturbating while working at a school multiple times.
The case was prosecuted by Senior Deputy District Attorney Whitney Timm with assistance from District Attorney Investigator Ryan Hill, and District Attorney Victim Witness Advocate Keosha Chambers. Local attorney Owen Tipps defended Gomez.
District Attorney Stacey Eads stated, “Justice has been served thanks to the strength and bravery of a teenage girl.”

I agree. Probly not his only victim, just the one we found out about and Mommy didn’t even want to turn it in her boyfriend.
Big ups to that little girl for standing up for herself. You rock!!!!
What?!! “District Attorney Stacey Eads stated, “Justice has been served …” ?!! What an asshole. 8 years he’ll be out in less and harassing, molesting some more little girls.
Big Respect given to the young lady here who had to go over her own mother to get any small justice at all. Good going, young lady- You have protected others for a little while. You’re awesome!
8 fuckin years! Justice was not served! Chomos/pedos are never rehabilitated once found guilty they should get the death penalty within a year! I’m very sorry for the child who knows this sick pos will be out again, working for the school is especially disturbing i garuntee there’s more victims.
