UPB Resident Assistant
Waives Hearing on Assault Charges
A Resident Assistant at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford has waived his preliminary hearing on charges of aggravated indecent assault and related charges for an alleged incident with another student last month.
According to papers filed in District Judge Rich Luther's office, Javier Patino and the female victim were in his room when he tried to kiss and undress her. She said he ripped her pants off, forced himself on top of her and attempted to have intercourse with her.
The victim said he eventually stopped and she thinks that might be because she was crying.
Patino told police the sexual contact was consensual and the victim removed her own clothes.
Police say Patino's initial story didn't match his final story or his written statement.
