Former Greenville Officer Serves 100 Days for Child Porn Plea

A former Greenville police officer will spend 100 days in jail after pleading guilty to charges involving the sexual exploitation of a minor. Dominic Olivares, 30, entered his plea in court on Wednesday for two counts of third-degree sexual exploitation.
As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors dropped six other counts against Olivares. These included charges for first- and second-degree sexual exploitation. The judge imposed two consecutive suspended sentences ranging from six to 17 months. Olivares will avoid prison unless he violates the conditions of his eight-year supervised probation.
The court also required him to register as a sex offender. The state’s Misdemeanant Confinement Program mandates the 100-day jail term. Olivares was hired by the Greenville police department in May 2020. He was fired on August 5, 2021, roughly two months after the state bureau began investigating a complaint filed against him.
The State Bureau of Investigation arrested Olivares in September 2025. At that time, warrants alleged he used a 16-year-old girl to create videos of her engaged in sexual activity. The initial arrest covered two first-degree, three second-degree, and three third-degree counts of sexual exploitation.
Olivares now faces a long period of supervision under the terms of the plea deal. He must remain in compliance for the full eight years to prevent the suspended prison sentences from becoming active.
