San Francisco, CA – San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced today that her office secured a conviction of Alexander London (33), after a trial by jury, following an incident where he attacked a woman in his apartment. Mr. London was convicted of domestic violence (PC 273.5) and domestic battery (PC 243(e)(1)).
“I would like to thank the jury for their service in this trial,” said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. “We take cases like this very seriously because this kind of behavior often is the precursor of future acts of violence we want to prevent from happening. My office is committed to doing everything we can to fight for justice for victims and survivors in the courthouse and providing support as victims and survivors heal from trauma.”
According to testimony and other evidence presented at trial, on April 9, 2025, Mr. London prevented the victim from calling an uber from his apartment by taking her phone and proceeding to grab her wrists, twist her arm behind her back, place her in a chokehold, and throw her to the ground. The victim sustained numerous injuries due to this conduct. Three days prior to this incident, Mr. London took the victim’s keys and slammed her into a wall.
The case against Mr. London was successfully prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Elliott Brooks, with invaluable assistance from, paralegal Lee-Ann Collins, and IT support from Noaeh Pinaire. Victim advocate Kendall Anderson and Jodee Brown worked closely with the victim throughout the pendency of this case. Their preparation and attention to detail combined with a thorough investigation from SFPD’s Bayview Station officers.
“Violence in any setting—whether in public or behind closed doors—should never be tolerated,” said Assistant District Attorneys Elliott Brooks. “I thank the Jury and the 911 caller in this case who refused to allow private abuse to remain private.”
