Former Cal Poly associate vice president, and former bike SLO county executive director, 69-year-old Richard Ellison, was sentenced for committing lewd acts with a child.
Ellison pleaded no contest to child molestation for an incident that occurred on March 30, 2025, where he was in the hot tub with his 6-year-old granddaughter, and exposed himself to her. He is sentenced to serve 364 days in county jail, and must register as a sex offender for life.
His time served in jail is the full term under a previously negotiated agreement between the parties involved in the case.
