Trial set for man accused of sexually assaulting child in Linda Vista

Trial set for man accused of sexually assaulting child in Linda Vista

SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A man who allegedly snuck into a Linda Vista home and sexually assaulted a 5-year-old girl inside the residence was arraigned Thursday on charges that include lewd acts on a child and theft.

Alejandro Jose Confesor, 23, is accused of breaking into a home on Wellington Street around 1:45 a.m. on April 18 and sexually abusing the child in her bedroom.

San Diego police say surveillance video captured Confesor returning to the same house three days later around 3:30 a.m. He is not accused of harming anyone in the home that day, but is accused of taking items from the home’s garage. He is also accused of trespassing into another home and a person’s vehicle in the same neighborhood as the Wellington Street residence.

Prosecutors say Confesor has no relationship with the victims.

Confessor was arrested on the night of April 21 on Linda Vista Road, less than two miles from the Wellington Street address.

After Confesor’s arrest, police found he had items stolen from the home where the girl was allegedly molested, according to testimony at a preliminary hearing Thursday. The confessor also allegedly had a cell phone picture of the interior of another nearby home, and his fingerprints were lifted from an unlocked vehicle in the neighborhood that prosecutors say he entered and stole cash from.

The confessor remains in custody without bail.
