Soun faces more than 12 years in prison and he will be sentenced at a future court date, which has yet to be set.
A jury has convicted a man of sexually assaulting a woman in her Tenderloin apartment last June, the San Francisco District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.
Sarith Soun broke into the victim's apartment in the early morning hours of June 22, 2022, where he violently attacked, tried to rape and sexually assaulted her. According to the DA's Office, he threatened to kill the victim if she publicized the attack. Soun, 41, has been in police custody since his arrest, which occurred on the same day of the attack. A jury found him guilty of assault to commit rape, attempted rape, sexual battery by restraint, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and criminal threats.
"The jury's verdict delivers justice for the survivor and reinforces that those who commit sexual assault in our city will be held accountable," said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. "We hope that this allows the survivor in this case to begin the process of healing. She has shown immeasurable courage through this prosecution, and I am confident that she will serve as an inspiration to other survivors," Jenkins added.
