Ex-Greenville Officer Ordered to Serve 100 Days in Jail After Plea Deal

Dominic Olivares, a former Greenville police officer, will spend 100 days in local custody following a guilty plea entered on Wednesday. The 30-year-old man pleaded to two counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He avoided a prison sentence because the judge suspended his time, granting him two consecutive periods of supervised probation lasting eight years.

The court ordered Olivares to serve his 100 days under the state’s Misdemeanant Confinement Program. He is also required to register as a sex offender. The judge dismissed six additional counts of first- and second-degree sexual exploitation as part of the plea agreement. If Olivares violates the terms of his probation, he must report to prison to serve a suspended sentence of six to 17 months per count.

Olivares was originally arrested in September 2025 by the State Bureau of Investigation. The initial warrant cited two counts of first-degree sexual exploitation, three counts of second-degree, and three counts of third-degree exploitation. The warrants stated that Olivares used a 16-year-old girl to create videos showing her in sexual activity.

Olivares joined the Greenville Police Department in May 2020. The department hired him as a regular officer before his departure. A department spokeswoman confirmed that Olivares was fired on August 5, 2021. That date was two months after the SBI was brought in to investigate a complaint received by the department regarding his conduct.
