Young Man Accused of Assaulting Mother and Baby | San Diego News

A 23-year-old man, Diego Yanez, is facing brutal charges after allegedly breaking into three apartments in San Diego’s Midway District — including one where he sexually assaulted a woman with her one-month-old baby present. The infant escaped harm, but the victim suffered a concussion and was hospitalized. Police say Yanez smashed windows to gain entry, and the victim didn’t know him — suggesting a random attack. Yanez pleaded not guilty to multiple serious charges including rape, assault, and burglary, and was held without bail after his arraignment. Protective orders were issued, and the youth services agency managing the complex emphasized safety for its residents. His next court date is September third as the victim and her family navigate this devastating ordeal. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
