A jury convicted a 44-year-old San Francisco man of domestic violence and several other charges after he repeatedly violated a stay-away order, District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced Saturday.
Police arrested Mickey Rivera-Ortega in November a week after investigating injuries to his victim, according to testimony and other evidence presented at trial. He was also in possession of drug paraphernalia, police said.

Rivera-Ortega later repeatedly violated a protective order to stay at least 100 yards from the victim, the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office said.
A jury convicted Rivera-Ortega of domestic violence, assault, drug possession and violations of court orders, said the DA’s office, which did not release a sentencing date.
“My office stands by victims and survivors of domestic violence and will do everything we can to get justice in the courtroom and to support their healing from the trauma they have endured,” Jenkins said in a statement. “Domestic violence has deep impacts on individuals and families and can not be allowed to fester behind closed doors.”
