Former Los Alamos resident Stephen Geisik, 27, is incarcerated at the Los Alamos Detention Center after his arrest by New Mexico State Patrol Ofc. Jacob de Leon on two child abuse charges.
The new charges violate the terms of Geisik’s probation in a 2012 Los Alamos case.
Geisik was charged in March 2012 in Los Alamos Magistrate Court with five counts of criminal sexual penetration of the first degree of a child under 13 years of age and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. In June 2012, the case went to First Judicial District Court but the charges were filed as two criminal sexual contact counts and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor on the criminal complaint.
In May 2014, a jury found Geisik guilty of the three charges and in April 2015, following sentencing by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer, he ended up with 364 days in the Los Alamos County Detention Center having received credit for two years and nine months of pre-trial detention.
Judge Marlowe Sommer sentenced Geisik to 15 months for each of the criminal sexual contact counts and suspended 11 years, three months and a day of each of those sentences, which were to run concurrently. She sentenced him to 18 months for the contributing to the delinquency of a minor count and also suspended that sentence. The two criminal sexual penetration counts were declared serious violent crimes and Geisik was placed on supervised probation for a minimum of five years and no more than 20 years.
Geisik was released April 5, 2016. In July 2017, according to Department of Probation and Parole (DPP) documents, he relocated to Hernandez and registered as a sex offender in Rio Arriba County. In August, he was removed from GPS monitoring as he had “been in compliance with his probation”.
DPP records filed with the Court indicate that in November, Geisik reported to DPP that the Children Youth and Families Department (CYFD) had visited his residence to check on the welfare of his two children and that they would be visiting again. Jan. 16, the DPP documents indicate he reported to them that he and his family would be moving to Moriarty then Jan. 20, he reported that CYFD and NMSP had arrived at his residence and removed his two children for a 48-hour period. The report states that CYFD had informed Geisik that he needed to remove two cats from his residence and purchase two new mattresses for his children.
The report states that DPP officer conducted a field call Feb. 22 and Geisik told them he had taken the cats to a shelter and purchased two mattresses and that he was waiting to hear from CYFD. The following day, NMSP arrested him on the new charges.
A hearing on the probation violation charge is scheduled for March 15 before Judge Marlowe Sommer in Santa Fe.
