A San Francisco man has been found guilty of sexual battery after a jury didn't buy his defense and convicted him for slapping a woman's buttocks, announced District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. Alex Chan-Carrillo, 32, now faces the grim reality of registering as a sex offender for the next decade following the incident that occurred in broad daylight in the Richmond District.

In what amounted to a sinister pursuit, Chan-Carrillo, on a bicycle, struck the unsuspecting victim and later trailed her to her home. The verdict delivered by the jury was a clear statement - San Francisco streets are no playground for sexual intimidation. "The jury's verdict holds Mr. Chan-Carrillo accountable for his inexcusable, and completely unacceptable behavior," Jenkins said, in a release by the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, "I will continue to do everything in my power to fight for justice and ensure that victims of crime are supported and can move forward with their lives."

During the trial, the jury heard harrowing details of how Chan-Carrillo, following the slap, shadowed his victim to her garage. His brazen behavior peaked when he blocked her garage door with his bike and repeatedly asked, "Can I come in?" Despite the victim's screams for help and threats to call the police, he did not desist. Assistant District Attorney Christine Revelo-Lee, who led the prosecution, thanked the jury for their attention to the evidence and for delivering justice. "They connected with the victim's powerful testimony, believed her, and delivered justice," Revelo-Lee said as she detailed the case against Chan-Carrillo, bolstered by the victim's testimony and the San Francisco Police Department’s investigation.

Sentencing for Chan-Carrillo, defended by Assistant District Attorney Christine Revelo-Lee, is set for April 9. The conviction carries the weight of a ten-year requirement to register as a sex offender under Penal Code section 290, a burden that stems from what the DA's office labeled as "disgusting behavior." The tireless efforts of Assistant District Attorney Christine Revelo-Lee, paralegals Andres Hernandez-Ruano and Joshua Nickchen, and Victim Advocates Cindy Pelayo and Abigail Cordova did not go unnoticed, ensuring the process would end in a conviction for Chan-Carrillo.
