Former firefighter Gary Taylor of Newbury Park pleaded guilty on Monday to three counts of child molestation and one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14, according to Deputy District Attorney Catherine Voelker.
Ventura County Superior Court Judge Edward Brodie scheduled Taylor’s sentencing for May 1.
The defendant also admitted to the special allegation of having substantial sexual conduct with a child under 14, Voelker said. The charges stem from crimes committed between January 2000 and September 2008.
Taylor, 41, is facing up to 22 years in prison.
The victim was related to Taylor, who formerly worked at the Ventura County Fire Department, prosecutors said. Taylor’s lawyer, Mark Pachowicz, declined to comment Tuesday.
Taylor left the fire department within the past few months, department spokesman Capt. Ron Oatman said Tuesday.
