SAN DIEGO —
A homeless man accused of knocking a woman to the ground as she walked to her car in the East Village, then sexually assaulting her behind some bushes, was ordered Wednesday to stand trial on three felony charges, including assault with intent to commit rape.
Gary Ryan Cushinberry, 51, pleaded not guilty last month to the assault charge and two counts of digital penetration by a foreign object. He was on felony probation for robbery and failing to appear in court when he allegedly
attacked the 26-year-old woman in the early morning hours of Nov. 6 near the intersection of 13th Street and Island Avenue.
The alleged victim, who testified at the defendant’s preliminary hearing, said she had just left a brewery around 12:30 a.m. when she was pulled down next to her car and sexually assaulted.
