On 11/20/15, a female student attending Santiago Elementary, 2212 N. Baker, Santa Ana, reported to her mother that a sexual assault occurred in the school bathroom immediately after school.
The victim later told police that when she was excused for the day from class, at about 2:23 PM, she walked to a campus bathroom. While in the girl’s bathroom, an adult male, unknown to the victim, entered and sexually assaulted her.

The suspect was unshaven and had either pock marks or tattoos under his eyes and possibly another tattoo near his neck. The suspect was wearing a dark colored hooded sweatshirt.
