A California man was sentenced to more than six years in prison for breaking into a woman’s home and assaulting her by “sucking on her toes” as she slept, state prosecutors said.
According to a news release from the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office, Cristian Solorio, 28, of Modesto, California, was convicted of felony stalking and breaking into a residence with the intent to commit a sex act. He was given the maximum sentence under California Law, six years and eight months in state prison.
The office said that Solorio had become “obsessed” with the victim since February 2025 after seeing her at her workplace.
“Solorio would show up at her work multiple times a day and loiter outside of her work to contact her when she left,” officials said. Moreover, Solorio is said to have asked the victim out several times, even sending her a letter saying he wanted to take her to Mexico.
The harassment continued for weeks until May 2025, when the prosecuting office said Solorio committed the crime.
How did Solorio get arrested?
According to the DA’s Office, on May 21, 2025, after discovering where the victim lived, Solorio went to her home late at night, and after the woman’s father left the residence, he broke in.
Afterwards, the woman woke up to find Solorio in her bedroom, sucking on her toes and trying to get into her bed.
“Although terrified, the victim managed to talk with Solorio in a friendly demeanor in an attempt to keep him calm and de-escalate his actions,” the DA’s Office said. “Other family members in the home eventually went into the victim’s bedroom and demanded he leave. Solorio then fled the residence.”
Authorities were able to identify and arrest Solorio, who then admitted to breaking into the home. Apart from the more than six-year prison sentence in connection with the incident, Solorio is also facing separate federal charges related to drug trafficking, according to the DA’s Office.
