A well-known Tehachapi DJ who was convicted of sexual abuse of four girls between the ages of 5 and 11 was sentenced to 100 years to life in prison on Monday, according to Kern County Superior Court records.
Roy Michael "Mike" Kirk was found guilty on April 24, 2024, of four counts of sexual abuse of a child against four separate victims.
The DA’s office said Kirk, a well-known DJ in Tehachapi, took advantage of several of his friendships by ingratiating himself with the parents of young girls. From 2004 to 2012, Kirk molested four girls between the ages of 5 and 11. Three of the victims underwent sustained, continuous sexual abuse at the hands of Kirk, said the DA.
An initial report to the Tehachapi Police Department in 2009 from one of the victims went uninvestigated, according to the DA’s office.

Law enforcement again became involved in 2016 when a second victim reported the abuse to an aide at her school. Kirk was arrested and has remained in custody since June 22, 2017.
Kirk left for Oklahoma where he would later be extradited to California after the Kern County DA's Office filed charges against him for sexual assault.
During the investigation, a third victim was found. In 2021, while Kirk was awaiting trial for his crimes against the first three victims, a fourth victim disclosed the abuse she endured when her mother was subpoenaed to testify on Kirk’s behalf at his trial, according to the DA’s office.
Kirk will serve his sentence at Wasco State Prison, according to court records.
