Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced today that Simranjit Singh Sekhon (DOB 01/07/90), of Bakersfield, has been held to answer on charges of rape of an unconscious person and kidnapping to commit rape.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case and arrested Sekhon in Los Angeles County on December 15, 2025.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Twyla Atmore, a member of the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office Sexual Assault Unit, is prosecuting the case.
