A Cal Poly student resident advisor, 25-year-old Alexis Alejandro, was arrested and charged with serious crimes, including residential burglary and assault with intent to commit sex crimes, as announced by the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office.
The charges against Alejandro include assault with intent to commit a felony during the commission of first-degree burglary, as well as more specific allegations of assault with intent to commit rape and sodomy.
Additionally, he faces charges for first-degree burglary while a person was present, which highlights the gravity of the situation and the potential risk posed to individuals within the residence.
These offenses are classified as “strike offenses” under California’s Three Strikes Law, meaning that they carry severe penalties and could have long-lasting repercussions for Alejandro’s future if convicted. The announcement of these charges came on Friday, drawing significant attention to the safety and security concerns on campus.
According to court documents, the alleged incidents occurred on September 7, 2024, during the early morning hours on the Cal Poly campus. Following the report of the crimes, Alejandro was taken into custody, with bail set at $200,000. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for the morning of October 9, 2024, where further legal proceedings will take place, and the case will be assessed by the court.
The university community is understandably shaken by these allegations, as they raise important questions about campus safety and the role of resident advisors in fostering a secure living environment for students.
As the legal process unfolds, both the university and the local authorities are likely to implement measures aimed at enhancing safety and addressing concerns among students and staff
