Angel Munoz Quintana

By KAREN VELIE

The 32-year-old man accused earlier this week of kidnapping and sexually assaulting young women while posing as a rideshare driver works as a custodian for university housing at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

San Luis Obispo police officers arrested Angel Munoz Quintana on Wednesday for allegedly abusing woman near the Cal Poly campus. Working as a custodian gave Quintana access to student living areas.

On Jan 13, a young woman reported that she had been sexually assaulted over the weekend by a man posing as a rideshare driver. During the investigation, it was determined there was a second woman, also college aged, who had contact with the suspect over the weekend.

The man also held the second woman against her will in his vehicle.

Officers arrested Quintana for false imprisonment, oral copulation by force, assault with the intent to commit rape and two counts of kidnapping. He remains in the San Luis Obispo County Jail with his bail set at $1.2 million.

Investigators are asking any other victims to contact San Luis Obispo Police Detective Magana at (805) 594-8025.

The Cal Poly bureaucrat who hired Quintana without a criminal background check deserves to be Quintana’s cellmate.

Looking like the managment of Cal Poly Slo is too incompetent or too stupid to do Criminal Background checks before hiring employees who might have contact with vulnerable young women?


The Cal Poly staff member who hired Quintana deserves to serve the same amount of prison time as Quintana.

Of course he does. When you go dear hunting, you go into the woods. Calpoly fails to protect students once again.

I agree that Cal Poly should be more diligent in keeping all their students safe. In this case though, I’m not sure what more they could have done. Unless the accused is a registered sex offender and Cal Poly let that slip through a background check, I’m not sure how they could have prevented this.

Did Cal Poly even do a background check?


These victims deserve some compensation IMHO because he has effectively destroyed much of their college experience and will leave a lifelong scar in their psyches.


Regrettably, this kind of thing has gone on for decades, with the school often making excuses, bumbling investigations, etc. Vey sad.
