A 24-year-old inmate at a California jail was sexually assaulted and choked to death by his cellmate as the victim pressed a panic button and pleaded and screamed for deputies to help for an hour, a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by the victim’s parents alleges.

Brandon Yates, 24, was found face down on his cell floor, naked with his hands and feet bound behind his back on Jan. 16, 2024, just 24 hours after he was booked into San Diego Central Jail for burglary when he was found sleeping in someone’s backyard shed, court documents said.
