SAN JOSE (CBS SF) — A sweep underway in the South Bay since the beginning of the year has resulted in San Jose police arresting 35 suspects with outstanding warrants for alleged sex crimes including felony cases of sexual assault of a minor and rape.

Among the arrests were 29 made during a one-month period in a coordinated effort by several SJPD units. Five were made by detectives who spotted suspects on the street and two warrant arrests were made outside of San José.

“This successful operation is a testament to the department-wide dedication at our San José Police Department to hold violent offenders accountable and uphold our standards for trauma-informed response to improve closure rates for survivors,” said Councilwoman Sylvia Arenas. “Sexual assault crimes are notorious for being underreported and of those reported even less lead to arrests.”

Among those arrested was Dionte Devol Foster, who has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting two people in January. San Jose police Sgt. Christian Camarillo said in a news release that one of the victims took a picture of the suspect in the assaults and provided it to detectives, who in turn shared it with patrol officers.

A patrol officer recognized Foster and he was arrested the same day near South 4th and San Carlos streets.

All of the suspects have been charged with sex crimes ranging from misdemeanor sexual assault to felony cases of sexual assault of a minor and rape. The dates of the cases ranged from 2016 to as early as February of 2022.

Detectives said it was possible that there could be additional victims. Anyone with additional information about these cases is urged to contact the San José Police Department’s Sexual Assault Investigations Unit at 408-537-1394.
