SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A man was convicted in a domestic violence case involving the assault of a mother last year, the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office announced Thursday.
A jury found Kasimu Harris, 52, guilty of domestic violence, assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury, two counts of child abuse, disobeying a court order and vandalism, according to prosecutors.
The charges stem from a Sept. 20, 2025, incident shortly after midnight. According to testimony and evidence presented at trial, police responding to a report of vandalism discovered evidence of a violent domestic assault.
The victim reported that Harris punched and kicked her and threw her down a flight of cement stairs. She attempted to record Harris on her phone, but he took the device and threw it down the stairs. The attack occurred in front of the victim’s children.
Harris was arrested and served with an emergency protective order barring him from contacting or attempting to locate the victim for six days. Prosecutors said recordings later showed Harris repeatedly tried to contact and find her.
Assistant District Attorney Max Draskovich prosecuted the case with assistance from the San Francisco Police Department’s Special Victims Unit. A victim advocate also worked with the family throughout the case.
