Stockton - Today, San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas announced that Nicholas Bloed, a former law enforcement officer, pled guilty to four counts involving crimes against four victims. Bloed entered guilty pleas to two counts of Penal Code 287(k), oral copulation by threat of arrest, and two counts of Penal Code 149(a), assault by an officer under color of authority. The convictions for oral copulation by threat of arrest are classified as serious strikes under California’s Three Strikes Law, resulting in Bloed now having two strikes on his record.

Bloed faces a total prison sentence of 8 years and will be required to register as a sex offender under Penal Code 290 for a minimum of 20 years, with the possibility to apply for termination after that period.

District Attorney Ron Freitas praised the outcome, stating, “This case sends a clear message: no one is above the law, especially those entrusted to uphold it. Nicholas Bloed abused his authority and betrayed the public’s trust, and today’s guilty plea ensures he will face the consequences of his actions. My office remains resolute in our commitment to protecting victims and holding offenders accountable, regardless of their position.”

Sentencing is scheduled for May 27, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. in Department 6D of the San Joaquin County Superior Court.
