Just before the trial, the former East Bay firefighter does not beg a contest to sexually violate four girls from 10 to 15 years.

Dublin – A former firefighter from the Bay area avoided little his judgment of child sexual abuse by declaring that there was no contest to four positions involving sexual crimes against minors, either by touching them inappropriately or filming them by changing, according to the records.

Simon Meyer, 55, of Redding, did not oppose two serious crimes of child abuse and a third position for minor crime, related to four victims of 10 to 15 years. The first two positions say that Meyer inappropriately touched two different girls in different incidents, while they slept, and the third says he filmed two teenagers while changing clothes in his bathroom.

Meyer’s last destination is in the air. He faces up to eight years in prison through a negotiated agreement with the prosecutors of the Alameda County, but will depend on Judge Paul Delucchi to make the final call. The Judgment Hearing has been established for April 25, and in the meantime, Meyer will remain out of custody.

Meyer entered the supplications of non -contest on February 4, days before a jury was about to hear evidence against him. The prosecutors planned to bring testimony of four more women who said that Meyer had touched them inappropriately, but whose accusations did not lead to criminal charges. Two of them were 11 and 13 years old when the alleged incidents took place, and two were 18, according to the judicial records.

Meyer used to live in Livermore. The four accused victims knew their family and were at home for parties in the pool or pijamadas, according to prosecutors. The case began when the two 15 -year -old girls discovered Meyer’s cell phone recording them in their bathroom, they copied the video, they told their parents and finally called the police. They claimed that Meyer insisted that he use that specific bathroom and that the video showed him by configuring the camera, according to judicial presentations.

Meyer was a firefighter in San Mateo county until 2021, the same year in which the charges were presented. It is not clear if he resigned or was fired. In 2022, the police in Redding briefly listed him as a missing person, but found himself shortly after and remained out of custody, according to records.
