Sacramento juries convict two men of sexually assaulting children in two trials
Sacramento County juries convicted two men in separate trials for sexually assaulting children.
Defendant Convicted of Sexually Assaulting Two Girls Under 10 Years Old
On June 29, 2026, Dayshawn Pogue was convicted by a jury of 13 counts of child sexual assault charges. The jury also found true a multiple victim enhancement and aggravating factors of vulnerable victim and the defendant was in a position of trust.
Between 2018 and 2019, Dayshawn Pogue sexually assaulted two girls when they were ages 7 and 8 years old. The sexual assaults included various acts of molestation, escalating to sexual intercourse with one of the victims. During each incident, Pogue told the victims to be quiet, and at times covered their mouths. He also told them they could not tell because either they would get in trouble, or it would happen to them again.
Pogue faces a maximum potential sentence of 295 years to life in prison. Sentencing is set for August 7, 2026, at 10:30 AM in Department 12B before the Honorable Ernest Sawtelle.
Defendant Convicted of 27 Counts Child Sexual Assault
On June 23, 2026, Arthuron Warren was convicted by a jury of 27 counts of child sexual assault charges.
Between January 2015 and August of 2020, Arthuron Warren sexually abused two girls beginning when they were ages 6 and 12 years old. He abused one victim weekly and escalated to forced sexual intercourse. The victim did not report the abuse because she was afraid she would not be believed. For three years, Warren sexually abused the second victim, escalating to sexual intercourse and sodomy. The second victim did not report Warren because he threatened to kill her and her family if she reported the abuse. The first victim reported the abuse when she became an adult, which also led to the investigation into the second victim.
Allegations that Warren has two prior strike convictions for residential burglary will be determined at the sentencing hearing.
Warren faces a maximum sentence of 675 years to life in prison. Sentencing is set for August 28, 2026, at 9:00 AM in Department 9A before the Honorable Bunmi Awoniyi.
