Case Against SF Hotel Sex Assault Suspect Dropped

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / BCN) ― The San Francisco District Attorney's Office on Thursday announced that the case against a man who allegedly sexually assaulted a guest at a city hotel in March has been dropped for now.

Daly City resident Christian Rojas, 30, had been charged with burglary and sexual battery following an incident at the Clift Hotel, 495 Geary Street, on March 2.

Officers responded to the hotel after a 39-year-old woman reported the alleged assault around 5 a.m., police spokesman Neville Gittens said. A man allegedly entered the victim's room using a key card, sexually assaulted her and left.

Officials determined that the key used to enter the room was assigned to Rojas, who worked in the hotel's housekeeping department, according to Gittens.

District Attorney Kamala Harris said today that a decision on whether to refile the case would be made after further investigation into the incident.
