BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A Wasco man who admitted to engaging in sex acts with girls he knew were underage has pleaded no contest to four felony counts, according to court records.

Diego Emanuel Gomez pleaded no contest Thursday and faces eight years and four months in prison at his sentencing next month.

Gomez was arrested April 6, 2022, and eventually 22 felony counts were brought against him.

Investigators reviewed his Snapchat account and found inappropriate videos featuring girls that appeared to be under 16, court documents say. Investigators found conversations where Gomez asked girls for photos or videos showing them unclothed.

“In the conversations the other users would tell Gomez they were underage, and he stated he did not mind they were underage because they were not going to tell anyone,” an investigator wrote.
