Vallejo Man Arrested on Child Sexual-Assault Charges at UC Berkeley Dorm

The case spotlights oversight gaps for outside youth programs on campus as investigators pursue additional leads.

Overview

  • Police identified 27-year-old Quaylin Wesley of Vallejo and arrested him on suspicion of sexual offenses after an incident in a UC Berkeley residence hall; he is booked in Alameda County Jail.
  • Officers initially received a report of an attempted sexual assault and later reclassified the case as a completed sexual assault following their investigation.
  • Jail records and reporting show the victim in the case is a child under 14, which elevates the legal seriousness and will shape prosecutorial handling.
  • UC Berkeley said the camp program using the residence hall is not run by the university and investigators noted Wesley’s public profiles list him as a camp counselor, raising questions about vetting and supervision of external groups on campus.
  • UC Berkeley Police have asked anyone with information to call 510-642-6760 as the investigation continues and court proceedings are expected to follow.
