According to testimony, Alex Chan-Carillo, 32, was riding his bike on a sidewalk while the victim was entering her home on July 23, 2023. Carrillo then approached the victim and slapped her on her behind before “laughing as he rode away,” the testimony said.

As the victim was inputting the code into her garage, she “felt a presence behind her” before turning around and seeing Chan-Carrillo standing within five feet of her, the testimony said.

The victim attempted to yell at Chan-Carillo, also threatening to call her husband or the police. According to testimony, Chan-Carrillo persisted and kept asking, “Can I come in?” While trying to block the entryway with his bicycle to prevent the garage door from closing.

The victim then took a picture of him and threatened to call the police, but according to testimony, that did not stop Mr. Chan-Carrillo. At that point, the victim abandoned the garage and ran upstairs and called police, who later arrested him.

Sentencing for Chan-Carillo is scheduled for April 9, 2024. Until then, he must register himself as a sex offender for the next ten years.

“I would like to thank the jury for their thoughtful review of the evidence and careful application
of the law,” said Assistant District Attorney Christine Revelo-Lee. “They had the task of determining Mr. Chan-Carrillo’s specific intent and evaluating what was reasonable and
unreasonable. They connected with the victim’s powerful testimony, believed her and delivered
justice.”
