On April 18, at around 1:45 a.m., Confesor allegedly entered a home in the 2800 block of Wellington Street and sexually assaulted a 5-year-old girl. The suspect was able to get into the house through an unlocked side door.

Three days later, a man matching the description of the suspect was seen on surveillance footage “returning to the same home and entering the property. He did not gain entry into the main residence, and no one was harmed,” SDPD officials stated.

Police are asking anyone with additional information on the incidents or video footage from the area during the time of the incidents to call the SDPD Child Abuse Unit at 619-531-2210.
