Stalker Who Sucked Woman's Toes As She Slept Gets Maximum Sentence: Authorities

After weeks of harassment, he broke into her home while her father was away, entered her bedroom and sucked her toes, authorities said.

STANISLAUS COUNTY, CA — A Northern California man pleaded guilty to multiple charges after he broke into a woman’s home and sucked her toes while she was sleeping, authorities announced Friday.

Cristian Solorio, 28, of Modesto, was convicted by plea of felony stalking and breaking into a home with the intent to commit a sex act, authorities said. He was given the maximum sentence of six years and eight months in state prison, according to the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office, which noted he is also facing federal charges related to drug trafficking.

Solorio first saw the woman at her work in February 2025 and “immediately became obsessed with her,” the district attorney’s office said in a social media post. He would go to her job multiple times per day and loiter outside waiting for her to leave, according to the district attorney’s office. He asked her out repeatedly and sent her a letter telling her he wanted to take her to Mexico, authorities said.
