In fall 2022 a warrant was issued for Nida Muhammad Niazy, the suspect in two sexual assaults at and around Sac State. Niazy initially eluded capture from law enforcement, but was later arrested in Germany this February.

On May 30, Niazy was extradited back to the United States and booked at the Sacramento County Jail. Three days later he pleaded not guilty to charges levied against him and was found ineligible for bail.
On July 28, Niazy gave a no-contest plea as part of a deal to drop charges of rape from his sentencing.
On Aug. 25, Niazy was sentenced to two years in state prison and ordered to pay restitution to the victims.
In a statement from the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office, they said new information found during the investigation led them to “reevaluate” their ability to prove all the charges brought against Niazy.
