Two women arrested for robbing a man who had allegedly bought them dinner and drinks at a Burlingame hotel bar in October pleaded no contest to felony grand theft from a person Friday, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Kristen Steffan
Alexandria Czap, 27, and Kristen Steffan, 29, both residents of Sacramento, were sentenced to 90 days in county jail and three years of supervised probation Friday. They will receive one day credit for time served, according to prosecutors.
On Oct. 23, Czap and Steffan allegedly approached the 60-year-old man while he was having a drink at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Burlingame. They allegedly convinced him to buy them drinks and dinner, and soon after Czap allegedly suggested they go up to the man’s hotel room to have fun, according to prosecutors.

After they arrived at the man’s hotel room, the women allegedly said they were ladies of the night and demanded $500 in cash from him, according to prosecutors. The man allegedly said he didn’t have that kind of money, but after Czap allegedly pushed him on the shoulder, he said he had $120 in cash and could get more, according to prosecutors.
The pair allegedly took the man’s $120 in cash, as well as his wallet, keys, phone and laptop, and said he shouldn’t come after them or they would send someone to mess him up. The man allegedly called the police and followed them into the hotel parking lot, where they hit him in the head, according to prosecutors.
Police allegedly found the women minutes later about a block away from the hotel with the man’s possessions, according to prosecutors.
Steffan’s defense attorney Mark Camperi said the district attorney did an excellent job and handled the case professionally. Czap’s defense attorney Ross Green could not be immediately reached for comment.
To the author(s) of this alleged news story. I would guess that you allegedly have never been to a school that teaches writing or taken any classes in journalism. You have just reported on a criminal court case where certain items were accepted as fact by the judge and jury, and while some were disputed by the "alleged" suspects, most of the items you refer to as alleged were accepted as fact in court not only by the jury, the judge and prosecutor, they were accepted by the defense attorney as well. If you don't understand this, contact your alleged editor and have them set you straight. Otherwise, you should consider another field of work. Devin Nunes is looking for someone who can discern facts from fiction, allegedly........
