By Justin Ove (Patch Staff) May 15, 2015

A 39-year-old Marietta man is in the Cobb County jail on Friday after police say he sexually assaulted a juvenile girl at an apartment complex earlier this week.

According to police, a mother at the Caswyck Trail Apartments in Marietta came upon Alex Gilberto Argueta sexually assaulting her underage daughter just before 10 p.m. on Wednesday. The mother allegedly confronted Argueta, and he fled the area on foot.

Police began searching for Argueta, and he was arrested on Thursday. Cobb County jail records indicate he was arrested at 9 a.m. Argueta faces charges of aggravated assault, rape, and false imprisonment. He is also being held for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

There is one other story about this online.

The Marrietta Daily Journal fails to identify this man as being held by immigration identifying him as an illegal foreign national from Honduras. They fail to report hat he already had an arrest record for no drivers license in April 20, 2014, at which time he was identified as a Honduran. see below. It looks like the same guy to me....

Alex Argueta

A Marietta man was arrested Thursday after police say he sexually assaulted a juvenile in an apartment complex in Marietta on Wednesday.

Alex Gilberto Argueta, 39, was charged with rape, aggravated assault and false imprisonment after the mother of a juvenile girl walked in on Argueta assaulting her daughter at about 9:45 p.m. Wednesday, said Officer Alicia Chilton, spokeswoman for the Cobb County Police Department.

The assault happened at Caswyck Trail Apartments off Favor Road near the intersection of Windy Hill Road, Chilton said.

When the mother confronted Argueta, he fled on foot, Chilton said.

Argueta was booked into the Cobb jail Thursday and had not been released as of Friday evening, according to jail records.

The Patch also fails to note that he previously identified as being in the country illegally and should have been deported before he committed this child rape.

Charges

As long as we have juvenile girls and latinos in the USA, we should have a law that mandates all parents of juvenile girls have guns and authorization to use them. Authorization to use upon any offending portion of the perps body!

A Marietta man was sentenced to 25 years in prison for raping a child inside her Cobb County home, police said Monday.

Alex Gilberto Argueta, 40, pleaded guilty to rape, aggravated assault and cruelty to children in the May 2015 attack. He also got no parole and life on probation.

Argueta’s trial was scheduled for Monday, but was cancelled when he entered the plea.

Police say Argueta raped the girl, 11, in her closet about 10 p.m. while her mother was in the next room. He grabbed the child by her neck and threatened to physically harm her if she said anything.

The girl’s mother went looking for her daughter after the girl hadn’t returned from playing. She found Argueta with his pants down and her daughter partially clothed.

“This is the kind of case that sends chills down your spine,” Assistant District Attorney Susan Treadaway said.

The girl was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta where she was examined.

Argueta was gone by the time police arrived, but DNA testing determined he was a positive match on biological samples taken from the child.

Police did not say how Argueta, who is form Honduras, got into the home. He could be transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (or ICE) custody following his prison term.

Argueta will be required to register as a sex offender if he remains in the U.S.
