Amador County Fair Carnival Assault Investigation

McCune Law Group Investigating Civil Claims for Families of Children Assaulted at the Amador County Fair

Originally distributed via PR Newswire, August 12, 2026

McCune Law Group (MLG) is investigating civil claims on behalf of families whose children may have been sexually assaulted by a former carnival worker at the Amador County Fair in Plymouth, California. The firm has been retained by the family of a young girl who was allegedly assaulted by the worker, and MLG is now looking into whether other children were harmed by the same individual.

The former worker, Guillermo Carrillo, has been charged in Amador County Superior Court with 21 felony counts involving acts against minors under the age of 14 (Case No. 26CR36775). The Amador County Sheriff’s Office is leading the criminal investigation, and additional families have already come forward. MLG’s civil investigation is separate from the criminal case. It focuses on whether the companies and organizations responsible for operating and supervising the carnival failed to protect the children in their care.

Do You Believe Your Child May Have Been Harmed at the Amador County Fair?

If your family has any connection to this matter, MLG wants to hear from you. Call (909) 414-2609 for a free, confidential consultation.

A Different Question Than the Criminal Case

The criminal case will determine what happens to the individual charged. MLG’s civil investigation asks a separate question: how was this allowed to happen, and who else may be responsible.

“No family should have to learn that their child was harmed at a county fair,” said Cory Weck, personal injury attorney and practice area leader at McCune Law Group. “The criminal justice system will address the individual. Our job is to answer a different question: how was this allowed to happen, and who failed to keep these children safe? Families deserve those answers, and they deserve to know their options.”
