An Ojai man pleaded guilty to five felony charges in Ventura County Superior Court on Sept. 18 for the sexual assault of two people.
Jaden Joseph Pullen, 28, pleaded guilty to two counts of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation with a minor over 14, oral copulation of a person under 18 and unlawful sexual intercourse, according to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office news release.
He also admitted to a special allegation that he had engaged in violent conduct. He previously pleaded not guilty in April 2024, DA's office said.
The two victims came forward with the assault after Pullen was convicted in a separate rape case in 2020, the DA's office said. Pullen knew the two and assaulted them in 2018 at a home in Ojai that he shared with one
of the victims, a minor.
He faces a maximum of 27 years and four months in state prison during his scheduled Nov. 16 sentencing hearing.
