Carlos Guadalupe Delosreyes was found guilty in Solano County Superior Court before Judge Bryan Kim of kidnap and rape, forcible lewd acts on a child, forcible sodomy on a child and aggravated assault. The verdict came nearly two years after prosecutors say Delosreyes abducted a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl as they walked to school and threatened them with what appeared to be a handgun.
According to evidence presented at trial, the children were walking along a creek path near the school on the morning of June 5, 2024, when a stranger approached them, displayed a gun and threatened to shoot them.
Prosecutors said Delosreyes forced the children from the path at gunpoint, separated them and violently sexually assaulted the girl.
The attack was interrupted when the boy noticed the suspect had released his grip on the weapon. The boy grabbed the gun and discovered it was fake, then tackled Delosreyes and fought him off the girl, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
The girl then picked up the gun and pointed it at Delosreyes, attempting to fire it before also realizing it was not a real firearm.
Delosreyes fled the scene before police arrived and police investigators conducted an extensive search of the area but were unable to immediately locate him. In the weeks that followed, Fairfield police detectives conducted numerous interviews and reviewed surveillance footage from the area, eventually identifying Delosreyes as a suspect, investigators said.
Police arrested the then-30-year-old Delosreyes on July 3, 2024.
Prosecutors said DNA obtained during the girl’s sexual assault examination was later compared with Delosreyes’ DNA and confirmed he was the man who attacked the children.
The case was investigated by the Fairfield Police Department with assistance from Courage Center 2, SANE/SART personnel and the California Department of Justice Bureau of Forensic Services.
Deputy District Attorney Carrie Gylling prosecuted the case. District Attorney Investigator Kathryn Lenke and victim advocates Andrea Vela and Melissa Vences assisted during the trial. Delosreyes was represented by the Solano County Public Defender’s Office.
Delosreyes is scheduled to return to court July 20 at 9 a.m. in Kim’s Fairfield courtroom for sentencing. Prosecutors said he faces a potential sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
