Sergio Garcia-Mederos, 49, was charged with home burglary and sexual battery for allegedly breaking into a home where he was supposed to be working on a vehicle.
OAKLAND — A Bay Area mechanic has been charged with breaking into a Livermore home and sexually assaulting a resident while he was supposed to be working on a car in their driveway, court records show.
Sergio Garcia-Mederos, 49, was charged last month with residential burglary with aggravating circumstances, a felony, and a misdemeanor count of sexual battery. He has pleaded not guilty and is in Dublin’s Santa Rita Jail in lieu of $60,000 bail. Garcia-Mederos was arrested Nov. 1 after the alleged victim called police to report that he’d somehow gained access to the home. The woman told police she was taking a nap when Garcia-Mederos began groping her in her sleep, authorities said.
Responding officers noted there were grease stains on the victim’s clothing and in the room where the alleged sexual assault occurred, authorities said. Police believe Garcia-Mederos waited for other family members to leave before entering the home.
