of sexually assaulting 5 women

By City News Service

AMenifee policeman previously accused of sexually assaulting two women while onand off-duty is now charged with victimizing a total of five women.

Juan Jose Pesina Jr., 32, of Murrieta, was arrested last month following an investigation by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department's Special Victims Unit.

On Monday, the District Attorney's Office filed additional charges stemming from recent findings tied to the ongoing investigation.

Pesina was originally charged with forcible rape, felony sexual battery, attempted forcible sodomy, first-degree burglary, forced oral copulation, attempted forced oral copulation and two counts of assault with intent to commit rape, as well as sentence-enhancing allegations of perpetrating sexual offenses during a burglary.

The amended complaint resulted in four more sexual battery counts, along with two counts of extortion and one count of acceptance of a bribe.

Pesina pleaded not guilty to all charges during an arraignment Monday before Superior Court Judge Judith Clark, who scheduled a felony settlement conference for Dec. 9 at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta.

Pesina is being held without bail at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning.

He's on unpaid administrative leave from the Menifee Police Department.

The agency released a statement soon after his arrest, saying its Professional Standards Unit had received a complaint from a woman on July 22 alleging encounters with the lawman over two years earlier in which he had sexually abused her.

"A preliminary internal investigation was immediately conducted," Menifee police Sgt. Raul Perez said. "In order to ensure a fair,

thorough and impartial investigation, the department requested an independent criminal investigation by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department."

Sheriff's Sgt. Jim Peters said MPD Internal Affairs detectives informed the Special Victims Unit that "Pesina was accused of sexually assaulting a victim during an on-duty investigation."

"During the course of our investigation, additional victims were identified in incidents that had occurred

between 2023 and 2024," Peters said. "Investigators determined Pesina encountered these victims while on duty and off duty."

According to the criminal complaint, the victims, identified as "C.W.," "C.R.," "G.S.," "J.H." and "J.R.," were allegedly assaulted in February and September 2023, as well as January, November and December 2024, and August 2025.

J.H. was Pesina's first alleged target. The defendant allegedly accessed her property illegally and perpetrated multiple sexual offenses over an unspecified period, according to the prosecution.

C.R. was allegedly victimized 11 months later, suffering similar abuse, the complaint said.

The document didn't specify which person, but it alleged that "after returning the victim of domestic violence to her home ... the defendant entered her home and forcibly sexually assaulted her."

"It is further alleged the offenses involved great violence, great bodily harm, threat of great bodily harm, or other acts disclosing a high degree of cruelty, viciousness or callousness," according to the narrative.

The police department did not disclose when Pesina was hired, or in specifically what capacities he had worked, other than patrol.

If convicted, he could face life in prison with the possibility of parole.

Most IE residents say they are struggling, UCR studies find

By Staff

Two studies by researchers at the University of California,Riverside found a majority of Inland Empire residents report they are struggling to get by.

The research, based on two surveys of more than 3,300 residents, paints a revealing picture of life in Southern California’s fastgrowing region east of Los Angeles, according to the university on Tuesday.

More than half of survey respondents, 53%, said they were struggling, according to the research. Another 6% reported suffering indicating that they saw little hope for the future, UCR officials

said.

The studies were based out of the university's Center for Community Solutions, which is part of the university's School of Public Policy. According to researchers, the studies uncover troubling disparities but also hopeful signs of community cohesion. While the levels of well-being were below national averages, IE residents were more likely than others in the United States to feel a sense of community belonging.

"Overall, the IE lags behind the U.S. with respect to self-reported well-being, but the region’s unusu-

Atkins bows out of 2026 California governor race

By City News Service

LongtimeSanDiego legislatorToni Atkins announcedMonday she was bowing out of the 2026 race to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is termed out.

Atkins, a former San Diego City Council woman, acting mayor,assemblywoman, Speaker of the Assembly and President pro tempore of the California State Senate, announced her gubernatorial candidacy in January 2024.

In announcing her withdrawal from the governor's race, she said she will continue to fight against the politics of President Donald Trump.

"My intention was to build on that progress, to bring real solutions from day one, and to do good work for the people. That's why it's with such a heavy heart that I'm stepping aside today as a candidate for governor," Atkins wrote in a letter to supporters.

"Despite the strong support we've received and all we've achieved, there is simply no viable path forward to victory. Though my

campaign is ending, I will keep fighting for California's future.

"With Donald Trump and his allies threatening everything we've worked for -- gutting health care, cratering our economy, and stripping away fundamental rights and freedoms -- we've got to make sure California has a Democratic governor leading the fight, and that means uniting as Democrats."

In August 2023, Atkins announced she would step down as Senate president pro tem -- planned for early next month. She is the first person in more than 150 years to have held both that job and the position of Speaker of the California State Assembly -- which she held from 2014-2016 before being elected to the Senate. Atkins grew up in rural Appalachian Virginia and moved to California in 1985. She was elected to the San Diego City Council in 2000 and was acting mayor for six months in 2005 following the resignation of Dick Murphy. She has also filled in for the governor

temporarily when he was out of state. Atkins was elected to the Assembly in 2010 and became Majority Leader less than two years later. She is termed out from running for the Senate again.

According to an August poll by Emerson College, Atkins was polling at around 2%, while former Rep. Katie Porter led all Democrats in a crowded field at 18% -- up from 12% in a similar poll in April. Republican Steve Hilton led candidates from the other side of the aisle with 12% in the poll.

"With Kamala Harris officially out of the race, Katie Porter has emerged as the Democratic frontrunner, increasing her support from 12% to 18% since the April Emerson poll," said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. "Steve Hilton, who was not in the race in April, has jumped to 12%, while the share of undecided voters has dropped from 54% to 38% over the summer. Porter leads among voters over 50 (22%), those with a postgraduate degree (35%), and white voters (23%)."

Anaheim demolishes fifth hotel since 2020

Anaheim on Sept. 25 tore down its fifth motel since 2020 as part of an ongoing initiative to revitalize neighborhoods. The former Kettle Motor Hotel along Lincoln Avenue near Euclid Street was demolished with crews and equipment knocking down the 27-room, two-building motel and clearing rubble

from the site. Anaheim bought the Kettle for $3.9 million in 2024 from Kali Investment, Inc., a family investment company. Lacking travel lodging demand, the Kettle became "overrun with life-destroying drug use and other crime," according to a press release from the City of Anaheim. Upon buying the motel, the city’s Anaheim Housing Authority closed motel operations and began relocating longer-term tenants. While there are no specific plans for development yet, the site eventually will be rebuilt.

Ontario announces yard sale dates for November

The City of Ontario’s next citywide yard (garage) sale weekend is Friday, Nov. 7, through Sunday, Nov. 9. If rainy conditions exist on that Friday or Saturday, an alternate yard sale may be held on Nov. 14, 15, and 16. In 2010, the City adopted a yard sale ordinance giving residents the opportunity to hold more sales each year on fixed dates and eliminating the need for yard sale permits and fees. The rules for signs (one 6-square-foot sign on the owner’s property) and rules for merchandise to be sold (seller’s personal property only, no new or re-sold goods) remain unchanged. If you have further questions regarding the yard sale, contact the City of Ontario Community Improvement Department at (909) 395-2007.

TheInternational CivilAviation Organization(ICAO) convenes its Assembly once every three years. During the event, multilateral meetings and discussions are held to draw up global civil aviation regulations and standards. Nations abide by the conclusions drawn at the Assembly, ensuring the safe and orderly growth of international civil aviation worldwide. The 42nd session of the ICAO Assembly will be held from Sept. 23 to Oct. 3 in Montreal, Canada. In line with its long-term strategic plan called “Safe Skies, Sustainable Future,” ICAO is emphasizing a commitment to working with all stakeholders—including member states, nonmember states, NGOs, and private enterprises—to build a more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive international aviation system. We call on ICAO to allow Taiwan to fully participate in its Assembly, technical meetings and mechanisms to ensure regional aviation safety and development needs, thereby achieving safe skies amid a sustainable future.

Meeting regional aviation safety and development needs

The Taipei Flight Information Region (FIR) covers one of the busiest regions in East Asia for air travel. It is an indispensable part of ICAO’s network of over 300

A call to support Taiwan’s participation in ICAO

By Chen Shih-kai, minister of transportation and communications ROC (Taiwan)

FIRs. Taiwan’s Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) is the sole entity responsible for overseeing the Taipei FIR. The CAA offers a comprehensive range of information services and manages air routes to ensure safety and efficiency for all flights and passengers arriving in, departing from, and transiting the Taipei FIR. From both a risk and safety management perspective, ICAO should permit Taiwan’s CAA to participate on an equal footing with the oversight agencies of other FIRs. This will ensure that the Taipei FIR can communicate directly with other FIRs as well as with ICAO to ensure the free flow of timely information.

Despite not having authority over the Taipei FIR, China in recent years has declared temporary danger areas and airspace reservations and has established military exercise areas within the Taipei FIR. China has failed to comply with ICAO requirements that advance notice of at least seven days be given concerning such measures. This has severely compromised flight safety in the Taipei FIR and neighboring FIRs.

Global aviation faces many natural and manmade challenges such as climate change, power banks, and international geopolitical strife. Taiwan, which is responsible for the consid-

erable traffic through the Taipei FIR, makes every effort to be a responsible stakeholder in the international aviation community. To undergird regional flight safety, Taiwan again calls on ICAO to recognize the importance of the Taipei FIR and of its participation in ICAO.

Achieving safe skies and a sustainable future

The CAA does its best to collect the information it can via indirect channels. It also invites aviation experts from other countries to hold training courses. This helps it to achieve international aviation safety management standards. It also adopts or modifies regulations, systems, and procedures in line with ICAO standards in ways that benefit global and regional aviation safety. For example, the CAA has initiated a State Safety Program and collaborates with aviation industry stakeholders through this program to establish safety oversight systems. This has contributed to Taiwan’s exceptional overall safety performance. From 2020 to 2024, the five-year moving occurrence rates of turbofan and turboprop aircraft were zero (zero accidents per million departures).

The safety performance of Taiwan’s aviation industry has also been remarkable. EVA Air, for instance, has been recognized as one

of the world’s safest fullservice airlines by AirlineRatings.com and was ranked seventh-safest in 2025.

To further sustainable development of the aviation industry, the CAA has incorporated the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) into domestic law and launched a sustainable aviation fuel pilot program in April 2025. This demonstrates the determination of Taiwan’s aviation industry to take concrete steps toward a net-zero transformation.

Despite these efforts, to ensure access to timely and comprehensive information, the CAA must be allowed to participate in the techni-

cal meetings and training opportunities offered by ICAO. ICAO should act in line with its No One Left Behind initiative to rectify the fact that the CAA remains unable to participate in its activities.

Taiwan needs your support Aviation safety knows no borders. For decades, the CAA has mandated and upheld the highest standards of service and safety for the Taipei FIR while meeting ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices. As a stakeholder in the international aviation community, Taiwan shares in the responsibility to safeguard regional and global aviation safety.

Through participation in ICAO, Taiwan will be able to continue to work with other countries to contribute to the further development of global aviation and the wellbeing of all mankind.

ICAO is set to convene the 42nd Assembly with the theme “Safe Skies, Sustainable Future.” It is time for ICAO to bring Taiwan into the fold. With meaningful participation, Taiwan can contribute its professional expertise in pursuit of ICAO’s vision of safer skies and a more sustainable future. Taiwan’s CAA is committed to working with the international community to implement the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs).

Monrovia City Notices

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 2025-09

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS 17.04.080, 17.08.010, 17.08.020, 17.42.030 AND 17.42.120; ADDING CHAPTER 17.38 AND SECTION 17.52.380 TO THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE; AND DELETING SECTION 17.44.020 FROM THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE AND FINDING ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE TO BE CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT

This is a summary of the above entitled Ordinance of the City of Monrovia, which was read by title only and introduced by the Monrovia City Council at its regular meeting on September 16, 2025 by a vote of 5 in favor (Belden, Jimenez, Spicer, Kelly, and Shevlin) and 0 opposed. The final vote on the Ordinance will take place at the regular City Council meeting on October 7, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the City Council Chambers, 415 South Ivy Avenue, Monrovia, California. This summary has been prepared and published in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 36933.

State law requires cities to adopt a local ordinance implementing provisions of State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Sections 65915 et seq.) to incentivize the production of affordable housing by granting additional units, concessions and incentives, and waivers in exchange for dedicating a specific percentage of units as affordable.

Ordinance No. 2025-09 adds a new Chapter 17.38 to the Monrovia Municipal Code that includes all density bonus provisions that are required by State law. The Ordinance specifies how density bonuses would be calculated. The Ordinance also establishes application requirements and an application process to request a density bonus, concession or incentive, waiver, or parking reduction.

The Ordinance requires an applicant approved for a density bonus, concession or incentive, waiver, or parking reduction to enter into an affordable housing agreement with the City or the City’s designee. The Ordinance sets forth the required terms of such agreement.

The Ordinance also adds and amends various definitions in Title 17 of the Monrovia Municipal Code.

The Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) because the proposed Monrovia Municipal Code amendments will implement Program 1.3, in part, of the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element, and an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted for the Housing Element and its Programs.

A certified copy of the entirety of the text of Ordinance No. 2025-09 is available in the office of the City Clerk in City Hall, and is available for public inspection during regular business hours at that location.

Palm Springs Plaza Theatre receives technological donations

By City News Service

Twocompanies donated video and sound systems to the Palm Springs Plaza Theatre, it was announced Tuesday.

"The incredible scope of these two important technology donations has significantly increased the ability of the Plaza Theatre to attract acts," J.R. Roberts, president of the Plaza Theatre Foundation, said in a statement.

SACO Technologies, the company behind the Sphere technology in Las Vegas, donated a video wall featuring a cast aluminum frame and LED panels that will be installed against the back wall of the theater's stage.

Fender Musical Instruments Corp., a leading manufacturer of guitars, basses, amps and other accessories, donated a range of high-end amplifiers, which officials said will reduce equipment rental

costs for future acts.

The amplifiers, otherwise known as a backline package, include an acoustic Junior amplifier, a 1964 Deluxe Reverb amp, a Tone Master Deluxe Reverb amp, a 1959 Tone Master Bassman amp, a bass 800 amp head, an acoustic 100 amp, two 4x10 bass speaker cabinets, amplifier covers and speaker cables.

"Having this industrystandard backline package will be very useful and will be included in our tech package sent to managers and agents when we are attracting acts," Brian Ray, a foundation board member, said in a statement.

Following extensive restorations, the theater will open in early December, officials said.

A 56-year-old woman, identified in court documents only as "E.C.," was at the residence and was also shot by the defendant, the sergeant alleged.

Witnesses called 911, and patrol deputies and paramedics arrived minutes later, finding Monge dead and E.C. seriously wounded.

The child, identified only as a girl with the initials

"A.C.," was at the property but not struck by gunfire, according to court documents.

"Deputies located the suspect in the area and detained him," Loureiro said.

E.C. was taken to a regional trauma center for treatment and is now in recovery.

A possible motive for the alleged attack was not provided, and there was no word regarding how the defendant and victims knew one another.

Osornio has no documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.

$25K matching challenge set for Landmark Pride Flagpole's installation

"This flagpole is more than just a structure; it's a powerful and permanent monument to the activists who have tirelessly fought for equality since the flag was first flown in 1978," Jasmine Sullivan Waits, executive director

County Transportation and Land Management Agency.

The district covers about 10,000 acres, on which there are roughly 4,000 residential and commercial parcels, officials said.

"Cabazon is currently classified as a disadvantaged community," the TLMA said. "Historically, both the Cabazon and Twin Pines communities have expressed concerns regarding infrastructure issues, including reducing flood hazards, increasing area accessibility and circulation, increasing drinking water supply and sustainability and enhanced capabilities to address wildfire suppression."

of Greater Palm Springs Pride, said in a statement.

Mark Porterfield and Steve Chadima will match funds starting Monday for the flagpole that will be permanently situated at the intersection of Arenas Road and Indian Canyon

Drive.

The design will feature Gilbert Baker's eightcolor flag, which officials say is considered the most significant piece of LGBTQ+ art created by the late artist.

"We believe in the

Tax district

EIFDs were authorized under Senate Bill 628 in 2014 and permit bond sales to finance construction of private and public projects. Districts rely on "tax increment" to pay off the bonds issued in support of them. Tax increment is generated by projects within specified locations that increase property values. No separate property taxes are actually created by EIFDs.

A financing plan authorized by the board earlier this month specifies that 25% of all property tax growth in the new district over the next 45 years should be reserved to fund infrastructure projects throughout Cabazon. The

welcoming and inclusive spirit of Palm Springs.

This flagpole will be a lasting testament to that spirit, and we are proud to offer this challenge to help Greater Palm Springs Pride complete their goal and bring this landmark to life," Porterfield and Chadima said in a joint statement.

A flag-raising ceremony will take place the week of Oct. 21, organizers said. Online donations can be made at pspride.org/ flagpole.

remaining 75% will continue to flow into the county General Fund and related accounts for a broad range of expenditures.

The district still awaits formal approval by the California State Board of Equalization, which must sign off on the county's proposed

"jurisdictional boundary change" defining the district. That's expected to take place before the end of the year.

Report: No crime in officer-involved shooting of unarmed Hemet man

By City News Service

The fatal shooting of a 26-year-old man by Hemet police officers who believed he was holding a handgun — when in fact it was a pellet pistol — as they attempted to take him into custody was justified, state prosecutors confirmed Monday.

Jimmy Lopez of Hemet was killed during the confrontation with patrol personnel on July 4, 2024.

The shooting sparked criticism at the time, with critics contending that Lopez was sitting down, reportedly intoxicated, and was smoking, not threatening to harm the lawmen as they surrounded him.

"The California Department of Justice conducted a thorough investigation into this incident and concluded that there is insufficient evidence to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the officers involved acted without the intent to defend themselves and others from what they reasonably believed to be the imminent

risk of death or serious bodily injury," according to a DOJ statement released Monday.

Prosecutors analyzed the shooting under the requirements of Assembly Bill 1506, which mandates that the state investigate all law enforcement fatal shootings when the parties killed were confirmed to have been unarmed.

According to the DOJ report, Lopez had been at a bar, and when he started out the door of the establishment shortly before 2 a.m., he dropped what appeared to be a firearm on the floor, then retrieved it and headed for the exit. A witness called 911, indicating Lopez was walking eastbound on East Florida Avenue with a gun. Hemet police officers located him minutes later on the north sidewalk, sitting against a storefront wall in an otherwise vacant area. Officers had their body cameras running when they confronted him.

Lopez was taking drags

on a vape pen, though it was unclear whether nicotine or other cartridges were loaded in the recreational device.

"The officers ordered Mr. Lopez to put his hands up," the DOJ stated. "Lopez initially complied and raised his hands and placed them behind his head. He then reached down with his left hand and retrieved the vape pen from the ground next to him.

"As Mr. Lopez made these movements with his hands, multiple officers repeatedly told him `don't reach, get on your stomach,' and `keep your hands up.' Mr. Lopez reached toward his back pocket and retrieved an item from the ground resembling a black handgun. He raised (it) with his right hand (and) pointed it in the direction of one of the officers."

On seeing the upraised object, several officers opened fire, fatally wounding the man, prosecutors said.

"Later investigation revealed the apparent handgun pointed by Lopez

to be an Airsoft gun that mimicked the weight, size and appearance of a Glock model 19 firearm," the DOJ said.

Attorney General Rob Bonta said AB 1506 is a "critical transparency and accountability tool, and our hope is that this report provides understanding that advances towards a safer California for all."

"Any loss of life is a

IE residents

tragedy, and we extend our condolences to Mr. Lopez's family," he said. "We will continue to work to foster a just and equitable legal system that not only protects the rights of individuals, but also promotes trust and accountability between law enforcement and our communities."

The report issued findings that prosecutors hoped the police department would incorporate into policy, among which were: consider less-lethal means of subduing suspects before resorting to deadly force; rethink how patrol units are parked during a confrontation to reduce the risk of crossfire; and consider enabling police personnel to render emergency medical aid immediately after a shooting, instead of waiting for paramedics.

ally strong sense of local connection offers hope and a foundation to build upon,” Justine Ross, executive director of the Community Solutions Center, said in a statement.

The study "Insights on Vital Conditions in the IE" followed the Cantril’s Ladder research method, UCR officials said. Survey participants were asked to rate their current and anticipated future lives on a scale of 0 to 10, which were then combined to place respondents into one of three wellbeing categories.

"The results were sobering," according to UCR. "Just 41% of Inland Empire respondents are thriving — the highest well-being category — compared with 53% nationwide."

Survey-takers who reported they were thriving tended to have higher incomes and education levels, be married and belong to churches.

A companion study provided survey questions to 1,000 women in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Those questionnaires revealed even starker challenges — 58% said they were struggling, and 6% were suffering, researchers reported. Fewer than 4 in 10 women reported feeling they were thriving.

In Riverside County, more than one-third of participants in the "Women and Well-Being" study said they expected their lives to be worse in five years. That sharply contrasted the 9%

The Inland Empire's score is similar to countries such as Brazil, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Slovakia, researchers said.

of women in adjacent San Bernardino County.

Researchers noted that a significant gap in health care stood out among survey findings. Almost 40% of uninsured women said cost was the primary barrier to obtaining coverage, and access to care lagged behind nearby counties.

Education and economic opportunity also remain challenging for inland residents. Just 30% of prekindergarten-aged girls in the region were enrolled in an educational program, and 16% of adult women did not have a high school diploma. Those without a diploma earned an average annual income of just $26,000.

Despite the barriers, gaps and sense of struggling, signs of resilience did emerge, according to the studies.

Women who completed

surveys said they had stable housing at the high rate of 93%, and 88% reported feeling safe in their neighborhoods.

About one-third of IE residents reported a strong sense of belonging in their local communities, surpassing national rates. That sense of connection factored significantly into overall well-being.

“We often talk about

income as if it is the strongest factor linked to well-being, but our study shows belonging and civic engagement are just as strongly correlated,” Ross said.

Officials noted that the boost to well-being connected with higher levels of community engagement and belonging was comparable to the benefit of earning $190,000 annually.

The studies' findings

indicate "clear opportunities for policy intervention," according to UCR. Researchers identified opportunities to expand access to early childhood education, improve health care services, increase civic engagement and invest in initiatives intended to create social connections.

Ross described belonging as “the connective tissue that holds communities together.”
