A Ventura County man is facing a more than 150 year state prison sentence after being convicted of child sexual abuse involving multiple victims

Omar Cruz-Hernandez of Oxnard was convicted of seven felony abuse charges.

Prosecutors say the cases came to light after one of the victims came forward last year to report the abuse. A second victim was then discovered. The abuse occurred over multiple years.

Cruz-Hernandez will be sentenced later this month.
