Advice To Burglars: Don’t Masturbate To Porn On Victim’s Laptop

A 19-year-old man from Orange, California, is behind bars this week on burglary and vandalism charges after he made apparently made  the mistake of masturbating to images on a laptop computer owned by one of his victims and, as a result, leaving semen on her computer’s keyboard, according to a report by McClatchy News.  The suspect, Jonathan Jose Ruiz, not only watched porn on the victim’s computer while she and her three roommates were out of their Orange County apartment, according to a statement from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, he also used the computer to download images of the victim herself. Whether Ruiz deposited his semen on the laptop while viewing porn or the images of the victim, was unclear from the DA’s statement. But the statement noted that at some point, he moved the semen-laden computer out if the bedroom normally occupied by the victim, and moved it into the bedroom of one of the other women in the home. In addition to burglary and vandalism charges, prosecutors also charged Ruiz with  “crimes committed for the purpose of sexual compulsion and gratification,” a charge that could bring a longer sentence if Ruiz in convicted on all counts, according to a KTLA TV report.  The vandalism charge against Ruiz stems from the fact that the four women found their bedrooms ransacked and, specifically, their underwear scattered throughout the residence when they returned home that evening, the media reports said. Ruiz also opened the refrigerator in the home, prosecutors allege, and helped himself to a glass of milk to go with some cookies that he also stole from the victims and consumed on the premises. When he was arrested on October 11, he had two pairs of the women’s underwear in his possession, the DA statement said. Police used a swab of the semen on the computer to identify Ruiz through the Orange Country DA’s Rapid DNA program, which allows investigators to match DNA to suspects in the Orange County DNA database within hours. Ruiz had his DNA in that database from an earlier vandalism charge against him. Photo by Cherishsantosh / Wikimedia Commons
