PROSECUTOR: Deputy District Attorney Ryan Roebuck, Special Assault & Child Abuse Unit

Nazra Dance Bertelli was convicted by a jury of 10 counts of forcible lewd acts upon a child.

Bertelli sexually, physically and emotionally abused a 3-year-old child starting in 2011.  The abuse continued for years until the victim disclosed the abuse to a friend.  That friend told her mother, who notified law enforcement. Sheriff’s detectives found evidence on Bertelli’s phone including searches for pornography and photos depicting sexualized images of teen and pre-teen girls.  During trial, witnesses testified to Bertelli’s past sexual conduct.

Bertelli faces a maximum sentence of 100 years in prison.  Sentencing is set for January 5, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. in Department 29 before the Honorable Delbert Oros.
