Overview
- UC Berkeley police arrested 27-year-old Quaylin Wesley after investigators reclassified an incident first reported early Saturday as a completed sexual assault in a campus residence hall.
- Jail records show Wesley faces multiple felony counts including first-degree burglary, lewd acts with a child under 14 and sodomy involving a minor, and his bail was set at $425,000 with an arraignment scheduled this week.
- The university has said the program using campus housing was run by an outside camp and that Wesley was not a UC Berkeley employee, and authorities have withheld the exact residence-hall name to protect the victim's privacy.
- Detectives and Alameda County prosecutors are actively reviewing the case and UCPD has asked anyone with information to contact investigators as the investigation continues.
- Parents and campus groups are pressing for clearer rules on background checks and supervision for outside youth programs that use campus facilities, a debate that could shape university policies and liability questions going forward.
