Uriel Alegre-Rangel, 22, was charged with a felony count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. He has been released from jail while the case is pending and pleaded not guilty on June 10, records show.<\/p>\n

The charges were filed on May 20, months after the girl first reported the attack. Alegre-Rangel was arrested last December so that police could take his DNA, which was matched to the girl\u2019s rape test kit, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The alleged victim told police that Alegre-Rangel is known for selling cannabis and tobacco to Berkeley High students, and that she contacted him on social media to buy a vape pen. Early in their conversation she identified herself as a 16-year-old girl, police said.<\/p>\n
