Overview

- Prosecutors say the girl met Aguilar at a Menlo Park transit stop and was taken to his dorm after the two bought alcohol, with investigators alleging he gave her alcohol and marijuana before the assault on May 5.
- Court proceedings were continued to August 27 to allow investigators to pursue leads about a possible second victim and to determine whether more charges will be filed.
- Aguilar was arrested on May 12 at his dorm and remains held without bail while facing penalties that can be extremely severe for crimes against a child that young.
- Menlo College declined to confirm identities because of privacy laws and the district attorney asked any witnesses or additional victims to contact police so investigators can build the case.
