–District Attorney Dan Dow announced that 40-year-old David Ebrahimi Ardebili has been sentenced to 4 years and 6 months in state prison for crimes committed against a female victim during the early morning hours of Sunday, June 18, 2017, in Atascadero Lake Park. Ardebili was formerly a chef who worked at the since-closed Lady Luck Cafe in Paso Robles, according to reports.

During the previous evening of June 17, 2017, the female victim had separated from friends and family in downtown San Luis Obispo while visiting from out of the area. The evidence established that the defendant had observed the highly intoxicated victim walking alone and that he enticed her into his vehicle before he drove her to a secluded parking area at the Atascadero Lake Park. Evidence collected by law enforcement supporting the sexual assault crimes included Ardebili’s DNA that was found on the victim’s underwear.

Ardebili was tried and sentenced in Department 8 of the San Luis Obispo Superior Court, the Honorable Judge Matthew Guerrero presiding.

Under California law (Penal Code section 667.5(c)), this sexual assault offense is not defined as “violent” and therefore defendant is eligible to seek early release on parole pursuant to Proposition 57 that California Voter’s passed in 2016, according to the DA.
