In a statement from the San Francisco District Attorney's office, Kasimu Harris, aged 52, has been convicted on several counts, including domestic violence and child abuse. The conviction was announced today by District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, following a trial by jury concerning a violent domestic incident.
During the early hours of September 20, 2025, police responded to a vandalism report, which led to the discovery of a more severe domestic assault and child abuse case. "The jury's verdict holds Mr. Harris accountable and sends an unequivocal message of support to all suffering behind closed doors," Jenkins stated, reflecting on the trial's outcome.
Furthermore, despite an Emergency Protective Order barring any contact with the victim, Harris repeatedly attempted to locate and contact her, violating the court's no-contact directive, which only deepened the gravity of his actions. Throughout the legal proceedings, Assistant District Attorney Max Draskovich prosecuted the case against Harris with the aid of a team consisting of a paralegal and district attorney investigators.
"This case is a clear example of how domestic violence hurts entire families, not just individual victims," explained Draskovich, as reported by the District Attorney office. The evidence presented at trial included testimony that Harris attacked the victim by punching, kicking, and throwing her down cement stairs while their children witnessed the incident.
In light of these developments, resources for victims of domestic violence have been reiterated by San Francisco authorities. These include contacting the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800.799.7233 or texting START to 88788, as well as several local services offering support. Victims are urged to seek help and utilize available support systems to address and recover from such traumas.
