Juan Soto was sentenced to 17 years to life in state prison last Friday, by Judge Donald Currier. The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office said he was convicted of assault with intent to commit rape, residential burglary, and indecent exposure.
From January 2020 to July 2021, Juan Soto committed a series of break-ins in Midtown, Elmhurst, and Sandra Heights. In one case, he entered a home wearing women’s underwear and exposed himself, and in another, he climbed through a window and assaulted a sleeping woman. Prosecutors presented DNA and fingerprint evidence linking him to the crimes, and on June 12, a jury found him guilty, according to the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office.
Deputy District Attorney Katherine Martin prosecuted Juan Soto in an adult sexual assault case. Evidence and testimony presented in court showed a pattern of predatory behavior that impacted multiple victims and communities. A statement from the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office described the crimes as calculated and causing lasting effects.
