Man gets 8 years for rape at CSUN

A former student is sentenced for sexually assaulting a woman on campus in 2018.

A former Cal State Northridge student was sentenced to eight years in state prison for sexually assaulting a woman on the school’s campus in January 2018, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office announced Friday.

Davis Moreno-Jaime, 20, was convicted on one count of forcible rape in September after he was arrested in connection with multiple sexual assaults.

Authorities said that they believed Moreno-Jaime attacked multiple victims from April 2017 to July 2018 throughout Southern California.

“This was not your stereotypical jumping-out-ofthe-bushes type of thing,” CSUN Police Chief Anne Glavin said at the time, explaining that Moreno-Jaime knew the victims.

The district attorney’s office was unable to proceed with counts related to a second victim and dismissed them during a preliminary hearing.

Misdemeanor counts related to a third victim were severed and are being prosecuted by the city attorney’s office, public information officer Ricardo Santiago said.

Those charges are related to an incident on July 4 and 5, 2018, Santiago said.

Moreno-Jaime, a business marketing major, was also a member of CSUN’s soccer team.

On Friday, he was ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Rape in California typically brings a sentence of up to eight years in prison. A sentence can increase if the crime involves a child victim or two or more assailants.
