Ex-Greenville officer serves 100 days for child porn plea

Dominic Olivares, a former Greenville, North Carolina police officer, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to two counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He is currently serving a 100 day jail sentence under the state's Misdemeanant Confinement Program.

The plea agreement resulted in the dismissal of six other charges against the 30 year old man. These dropped counts included first and second degree sexual exploitation of a minor. As part of the deal, Olivares must register as a sex offender and serve two consecutive suspended sentences ranging from six to 17 months each.

Olivares will avoid state prison unless he violates the terms of his eight year supervised probation. The judge ordered the 100 day jail term as part of the final sentencing structure.

Olivares was hired by the Greenville police department in May 2020. He was fired on August 5, 2021, after the State Bureau of Investigation was brought in to look into a complaint against him. That firing occurred two months after the SBI began its probe.

The SBI arrested Olivares in September 2025. At that time, he faced two counts of first degree, three counts of second degree, and three counts of third degree sexual exploitation of a minor. Warrants issued during the arrest indicated he used a 16 year old girl to create videos of her engaging in sexual activity.

The next step in the case involves Olivares reporting for his supervised probation and completing his current jail term.
