Andres Aguilar rape charges

Entities: Kara Szkotak · Andres Aguilar · Steve Wagstaffe · San Jose · Menlo College

Overview

In early July 2026, Menlo College student Andres Aguilar was charged with raping a 12‑year‑old girl in his dormitory, prompting police to seek additional victims. By late July, authorities filed a second rape charge against Aguilar, alleging he drugged and assaulted a 17‑year‑old in San Jose. Evidence from a search of Aguilar’s phone linked him to the newer victim, and prosecutors detailed how he allegedly provided alcohol, forced the assault, and stole the teenager’s money and bank card. The case has drawn comments from District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe and Deputy District Attorney Kara Szkotak about the broader issue of under‑reported sexual assault on college campuses.
