A Reno man has been sentenced to 49 years in prison for the sexual assault of two girls under the the age of 14. 30 year old Joseph Samuel Martinez was arrested in September 2017 after a Sparks Police officer found two middle school girls who were reported as runaways by their parents. During the investigation, officers discovered that Martinez, who was on probation at the time for fraud charges, had contacted the girls on Facebook in April of that year. Between April and September, Martinez gave the girls rides in his car, and provided them with cell phones, alcohol and cigarettes. In September, when the girls decided to run away, Martinez picked them up and took them to his Reno home where he sexually abused them.
