FREEHOLD, NJ.- On Monday, October 18, 2021 Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Lori Linskey announced a Long Branch, New Jersey woman has been Sentenced to 35 Years in Prison for planning and carrying out the Sexual Assault of a Toddler under the Age of 5 with an accomplice, just a little over four years ago.
Olga Diaz, 35, will be required to Serve a Mandatory Thirty Three and a half Years of the sentence before becoming eligible for parole, pursuant to New Jersey's Jessica Lunsford Act and No Early Release Act, under the terms handed down on Friday, October 15, 2021 by Monmouth County Superior Court Judge David F. Bauman.
Friday's sentence marked the culmination of a case developed and jointly investigated by The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office and The Long Branch Police Department, that began on Friday, June 16, 2021, when at that time a man walked into the City's Police Department to report that he had just witnessed two individuals committing Sexual Acts upon a Child, spotted through a window of a Seaview Avenue apartment unit.
Ms. Diaz was Arrested later the same day, while she was pulling out of her driveway. Ms. Diaz's accomplice 37-Year-Old Mauricio Leon of Bloomfield, New Jersey, was located a week later with the assistance of Members of The U.S. Marshals Service and was taken into custody in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
During her Plea Allocution, Ms. Diaz admitted on the record that she and Mr. Leon planned the Sexual Attack by way of text message, and further admitted that she took Nude Photographs of the Child the day before the Sexual Assault and took a separate Video of herself Sexually Assaulting the Child hours before the pair Sexually Assaulted her together, sending both the images and video to Mr. Leon using her cell phone.
The text messages, images, and video were recovered by Police. The victim who was under the Age of Five at the time, was known to Ms. Diaz.
" The depths of depravity necessary for two people to plan and commit a crime of this nature together against a helpless child are both beyond the capacity of human language to suitably articulate and beyond the capacity of human comprehension to adequately understand," Acting Prosecutor Linskey said. " There is no place in any civilized society for anyone capable of such acts."
Ms. Diaz ultimately admitted to Two Counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child and One Count of Endangering the Welfare of a Child, pleading guilty in April 2021. As a result of Friday's Sentencing, 25 Years for The Sexual Assaults, and 10 Years for The Endangering which will be served consecutively. Ms. Diaz will be 64 Years of Age before becoming eligible for parole. Upon release Ms. Diaz will be subject to Parole Supervision for Life and subject to Megan's Law Registration Requirements.
In August 2019, The Honorable David F. Bauman Sentenced Mr. Leon to 25 Years in New Jersey State Prison on Charges of First Degree Aggravated Sexual Assault and Third Degree Possession of Child Pornography.
