Jakarta, IO – California Police arrested an Indonesian citizen named Daniel Widyanto Condronimpuno, 34, on Tuesday (11/4), reported KompasTV, Tuesday (18/4).
Daniel is suspected of committing a series of sexual harassment and assault in Palo Alto and the University of California, Berkeley.
Daniel’s arrest came two days after a 911 operator in Palo Alto received a call from a woman alleging that she was sexually assaulted at the California Avenue pedestrian underpass.
The victim, who was in her 50s, revealed that she was hit on the head, causing her to fall to the ground, then she was assaulted by the suspect. Not only that, Daniel is also said to have stolen the woman’s cellphone before running away.
Police linked Daniel to two other cases that occurred at UC Berkeley on April 5 and 9. The University of California Police Department (UCPD) also reported two separate sexual assault incidents on the campus where he grabbed the female students’ private parts.
