Nov. 4, 2025
A Sacramento woman who had six children with Paul Allen Perez — five of whom he is accused of murdering when they were infants — described for a Yolo County jury this week the circumstances surrounding those deaths, which allegedly took place over a nine-year period.

Yolanda Perez has already pled guilty to five counts of child endangerment and faces anywhere from probation to 10 years in prison. Paul Perez, meanwhile, faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if he is convicted of the murders.

Children's mother takes stand in infant deaths

A Sacramento woman who had six children with Paul Allen Perez — five of whom he is accused of murdering when they were infants — described for a Yolo County

www.wintersexpress.com

A Sacramento woman who had six children with Paul Allen Perez — five of whom he is accused of murdering when they were infants — described for a Yolo County jury this week the circumstances surrounding those deaths, which allegedly took place over a nine-year period.
Yolanda Perez has already pleaded guilty to five counts of child endangerment and faces anywhere from probation to 10 years in prison. Paul Perez, meanwhile, faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if he is convicted of the murders.
Yolanda Perez first took the stand on Monday afternoon and continued her testimony on Tuesday.

She detailed a lifetime of abuse she said she suffered, beginning in childhood and continuing after she met Perez. She was 17 at the time and he was 25. They married in 1989 and their first child, Brittany, was born in April 1990 in Merced.
Yolanda Perez testified that her husband would stay home while she worked at a variety of jobs, but that he would also “stalk” her at work because he was jealous of male co-workers and was physically abusive.

A lot more in the article, it's a long one
