A Modesto man has been sentenced to more than six years in state prison after pleading no contest to stalking a woman and breaking into her home to commit a sexual act, authorities said.

Cristian Alejandro Solorio Anguiano, 28, was convicted of felony stalking and assault with intent to commit a sex offense during a burglary, according to the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office.

He received six years and eight months in prison, the maximum sentence allowed under California law. Prosecutors said he also faces separate federal drug trafficking charges.

Authorities said the case began in February 2025, when Solorio encountered the victim at her workplace and became fixated on her. He repeatedly showed up at her job, loitered outside and approached her as she left, prosecutors said. He asked her out multiple times and sent her a letter expressing a desire to take her to Mexico, according to court records.

The behavior escalated over several weeks, according to the district attorney's office.

On May 21, 2025, Solorio went to the woman's home in Ceres after figuring out where she lived. After the victim's father left, Solorio broke into the residence, authorities said.

The woman awoke to find Solorio in her bedroom "sucking on her toes," according to prosecutors. Investigators said he also bit and licked her toes.

Fearing for her safety, the woman spoke calmly to try to keep him from escalating, authorities said. Family members eventually entered the room and ordered him to leave. Solorio fled, and the victim called 911.

Stanislaus County sheriff's detectives later identified and arrested him. Authorities said Solorio admitted to breaking into the home to contact the victim.

Deputy District Attorney Vita Palazuelos, who prosecuted the case, said the victim's actions helped prevent further harm.

"I'm glad the victim came forward," Palazuelos said in a statement.

Under California law, the conviction qualifies as a "super strike," prosecutors said. Solorio will be required to register as a sex offender for life.
