Retired Fresno Co. Judge indicted on sexual assault charges

The former judge’s trial is tentatively set for early next year.

A former Fresno County judge has been charged with sexual assault. 

The Fresno County District Attorney’s Office announced Monday that a grand jury has indicted retired Fresno County Superior Court Judge Adolfo Corona, 65, on sexual assault charges. 

The big picture: Corona faces two charges in the felony indictment: one count of sexual penetration by force, fear, or duress; and one count of sexual battery. 

  • He entered a not guilty plea in court on Monday and has a bail of $70,000. 

What we’re watching: Corona faces a maximum of eight years in state prison if he is convicted. 

  • He would also be required to register as a sex offender. 
  • The next court date for Corona is scheduled for Nov. 14, with a tentative trial date set for Jan. 9.
