PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Attorney General Peter F. Neronha today announced that a Central Falls man has been found guilty in Providence County Superior Court of assaulting a female victim in Central Falls in 2023.
On October 22, 2026, following a three-day trial before Superior Court Justice Luis M. Matos, a jury found Javier Camacho Garcia (age 51) guilty of one count of domestic first-degree sexual assault, one count of domestic simple assault, and one count of domestic disorderly conduct.
The defendant is currently being held without bail at the Adult Correctional Institutions (ACI) pending a sentencing hearing scheduled for January 15, 2027.
“Sexual assault causes lasting physical and emotional trauma, and we know it is chronically underreported for this reason and many others,” said Attorney General Neronha. “Each time we bring a perpetrator of sexual violence to justice, I hope it encourages other victims to come forward and tell their stories. I’m grateful to the Central Falls Police Department for their partnership on this case.”
During the trial, the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that between February 2023 and May 2023, the defendant assaulted a female victim multiple times, whom he had previously dated. After their relationship ended, the defendant began to threaten the victim via text messages. In February 2023, the defendant asked the victim to come to his house, where he sexually assaulted her. In May 2023, the defendant approached the victim at a public location in Central Falls and assaulted her. The victim then reported the assaults to the Central Falls Police Department.
“While nothing can undo the pain caused to this victim, I commend her bravery throughout this process,” said Central Falls Police Chief Anthony J. Roberson. “Justice was served in this case, and I thank our partners at the Attorney General’s Office for their investigative and prosecutorial work.”
Special Assistant Attorneys General Taylor Matook and Lindsay Grizzard of the Attorney General’s Office and Officer Sergio Rivera, formerly of the Central Falls Police Department, led the investigation and prosecution of the case.
