A 22-year-old man in Orange County, California pleaded guilty last Monday (19 April 2021) for breaking into the residence of three female college students and promptly sentenced to more than six years in prison. As reported by NBC Los Angeles, the man, Jonathan Jose Ruiz not only broke into the residence but also helped himself into some refreshments. Worse, he even used a laptop belonging to one of the residents to download porn and well, âplayedâ with himself.
For illustrative purposes.
The crime itself happened in 2018 whereby on 14 October that year, he broke into the home and went through the residentsâ underwear. He also left semen on the laptop after downloading porn and watching it on the computer.
Police then used the semen and used a new method to identify the suspect more quickly than usual. Due to Ruiz having a past conviction, his DNA records was stored in the prosectorâs system and it was used to match with the semen at the crime scene.
Previously, Ruiz was convicted for vandalising bathrooms at a local high school in Orange County in 2017. After matching the semenâs DNA with Ruizâs, the police arrested him at his home where he was in possession of two pairs of underwear belonging to the victims.
