Sergio Duran-Gamboa WINNEMUCCA — A man accused of sexual assault on a girl under the age of 14 pleaded to reduced charges Thursday in 6th Judicial District Court. Sergio Duran-Gamboa pleaded no contest to open and gross lewdness with a minor, a category D felony, and open and gross lewdness with a minor, a gross misdemeanor. 

Technically, the category D felony represents 1-4 years in prison and probation is a possibility.  However, the defendant is on an immigration hold and faces deportation back to his native country.  

Duran-Gamboa was arrested last May and went before the jury in November on sexual assault allegations from a girl who was 12-years-old at the time of the alleged incident. However, a mistrial was called after Humboldt County DA Smith inadvertently made reference to the defendant’s custody status.  His trial date has been reset to June 30, July 1 and 2, but the trial date has since been vacated.
