A man who followed a La Jolla woman home from a beach party pleaded guilty Nov. 2 to burglary and receiving stolen property in an Aug. 11 incident in which the victim was also allegedly sexually assaulted by the man’s friend. Xavzier Pernell Paschal, 21, of San Diego will be sentenced on Dec. 10 by San Diego Superior Court Judge Charles Gill, who said Paschal would face up to a year in jail and be put on probation. Deputy District Attorney Robert Stein said there was no plea agreement with his office, and he did not sign the change of plea form. Paschal was not charged with the sexual assault. His friend, Bryan Patrick Silva, 21, is charged with sexual assault upon an unconscious person and sexual battery. The 22-year-old victim says she woke up at 4 a.m. and discovered a hooded man touching her. She screamed and both men fled the residence. A police officer pulled over a vehicle on Nautilus Avenue minutes later and arrested both suspects. Police recovered the woman’s cell phone, iPod and a computer in the car. Silva, of San Diego, will stand trial on Feb. 10, and he remains free on $50,000 bond. Silva has pleaded not guilty and faces nine years in prison, if convicted. Paschal remains in the George Bailey Detention Facility on $35,000 bail.
