35 Suspects Arrested in Sexual Assault Investigations

Originally published as a San Jose Police Department press release – 

“The San José Police Department Sexual Assault Investigations Unit arrested 35 suspects that had outstanding warrants during an operational sweep between January 1st, 2022, and February 14th, 2022.

29 of those arrests were made during a one-month period, in a coordinated effort with SJPD Special Operations (MERGE, Street Crimes, METRO, VCET) and the Bureau of Investigations (Covert Response Unit). Five of these arrests were on-view arrests due to the proactive work of detectives. Two of these warrant arrests were made outside of San José.

All of the suspects are charged with sex crimes ranging from misdemeanor sexual assault to felony cases of sexual assault of a minor and rape. The dates of these cases ranged from 2016 to as early as February of 2022. It is possible that there could be additional victims. Anyone with additional information about these cases is urged to contact the San José Police Department’s Sexual Assault Investigations Unit at 408-277-4102.

Submit crime tips and remain anonymous by using the P3TIPS mobile app, calling the tip line at (408) 947-STOP, or on www.svcrimestoppers.org. If the information you submit leads to an arrest, you are eligible for a cash reward from the Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers Program.

The San José Police Department is committed to providing services to survivors of sexual assault and bringing their perpetrators to justice.

“This successful operation is a testament to the department-wide dedication at our San José Police Department to hold violent offenders accountable and uphold our standards for trauma-informed response to improve closure rates for survivors,” Councilwoman Sylvia Arenas said. “Sexual assault crimes are notorious for being underreported and of those reported even less lead to arrests,” Arenas said. “I hope that these successful arrests will aid survivors in their journey of healing, some who may have waited as long as six years for justice, and empower more survivors to come forward.”

Chief of Police Anthony Mata, “I would like to thank all the Department members involved for their tremendous efforts in taking these individuals into custody and helping bring hope to the survivors of these terrible crimes.”
