Charges Dropped in Case of Immigrants Living in Shed

GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP)- Authorities in Sussex County have dropped charges against two men accused of endangering the welfare of a 14-year-old girl, because the girl is actually 18 and the legal wife of one of the men.

Twenty-five-year-old Carlos Ortiz-Morales was arrested this spring after he was found living with the woman in a tin shed behind a home in Georgetown. Both are immigrants from Guatemala.

The woman told police she was 14 and had been having sex with Ortiz-Morales, resulting in rape charges against him. The property owner, 33-year-old Carlos Ortiz-Morales was charged with endangering her welfare.

But charges against both men were dropped recently when a birth certificate from the Guatemalan Embassy proved the woman was an adult.

I posted this story (gleened from my local paper) this morning. Oh well, as long as it gets the attention it deserves...YEAH!

Sorry greyparrot, I did a search first and didn’t see it. The search function on this board isn’t all that great.

We are being called on it, thats all. Between you and I, as long as what is being put down is being picked up..it's all good!
