Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig announced that on May 30, 2024, Fairfield resident, Azel Maynard, was sentenced for a sexual assault that occurred in West Sacramento in 2021.

Maynard has an extensive criminal history involving multiple felonies and prior strikes. In October 2021, Maynard was convicted by plea of robbery in Solano County where he was to be sentenced to six years in state prison. After entering the home and seeing she was alone, Maynard attacked the victim and attempted to sexually assault her. The victim bravely fought back against Maynard. Ultimately, the victim was saved when Maynard was distracted when her small child ran up to her.

During the subsequent investigation and prosecution, it was learned that Maynard had previously been charged with lewd conduct towards a prior attorney from another county, those charges were ultimately dismissed as part of a global plea in another case. However, the Yolo County jury was allowed to hear and consider this evidence in their decision.
