Registered sex offender to face trial in Bay Area stalking case
Briefly

Darrien James Humphries, a 25-year-old registered sex offender, is facing trial in Marin County for stalking and false imprisonment. The incident occurred while he allegedly followed a woman to work, proposing to kiss her. The woman testified that Humphries impeded her movement, causing fear, though no physical assault was reported. Public defender Nicole Tiger argued Humphries posed no real threat, while prosecutors suggested his behavior implied a threat of sexual assault. The judge allowed the case to proceed, citing sufficient evidence of wrongdoing, and set a new arraignment date for Humphries.
Public defender Nicole Tiger argued that the evidence does not show Humphries posed a threat to the accuser. She emphasized, 'All he said was, Kiss me.'
