10News.com - News - Man Who Beat Deaf Teen Pleads Guilty
SAN DIEGO -- A 20-year-old man who participated in the beating of a deaf teenager in City Heights because he didn't like the way the victim looked at him pleaded guilty Tuesday to assault and battery charges.
Jesse R. Ross could face up to seven years in state prison when he is sentenced Dec. 8 by San Diego Superior Court Judge George "Woody" Clarke.
The defendant pleaded guilty to assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and battery with serious injury. Ross also admitted allegations that he personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim.
The attack happened about 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 13 on the basketball court at Rosa Parks Elementary School at 4510 Landis St., near Wightman Street and Highland Avenue.
Loro Bureng was playing basketball with friends when several men approached and severely beat him for no apparent reason, police said. He suffered a broken eye socket and nose.
A CrimeStoppers reward offer led to Ross' arrest a few days later, police said.
Ross, who was on probation for shoplifting at the time of the attack, was unaware that the victim was deaf when he beat him, said defense attorney Milly Durovic.
