10/27/2026 MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Antony Sun Liwanag, 33, of San Francisco, is charged with two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct after an alleged assault involving a co-worker who was visiting Minnesota for a wedding. The charges concern events on July 2, 2026, at a Minneapolis bar and a hotel in St. Louis Park. The woman spoke with St. Louis Park police on July 24, according to the charging allegations. She told investigators that she attended a pre-wedding gathering on July 2 and later agreed to accompany Liwanag to another bar. According to the charges, the two sat near the back of the bar, and Liwanag retrieved drinks for them. After several drinks, she reported feeling unusually impaired and believed something had been added to her drink. That belief is an allegation; the information available for this article does not establish that a substance was detected or administered. The complaint alleges that Liwanag kissed her without consent despite her telling him no and trying to push him away, then sexually assaulted her while she was positioned between him and a wall. According to the charges, Liwanag subsequently arranged an Uber to her St. Louis Park hotel. The woman told investigators she tried to say she did not want to go but struggled to control her body and collapsed outside the bar. Prosecutors describe hotel surveillance footage as showing her severely impaired and unable to walk independently. The charges allege that Liwanag carried her toward her room and dragged her toward an elevator while she appeared limp and could not stand. The complaint alleges that he attempted another sexual assault in the hotel room and that she resisted and pushed herself away. She told investigators she flew home the following day without attending the wedding. The charging document requests an arrest warrant and asserts that Liwanag poses a danger to public safety. A warrant request does not establish that a warrant was issued or that an arrest occurred. The allegations have not been proven in court. Liwanag is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
