Thread: MO: Man charged with sodomizing 17-year-old girl

A 30-year-old man was charged Wednesday by the Jasper County prosecutor’s office with sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl.

A charge of forcible sodomy was filed against Leonardo Valentin Portillo, an immigrant from El Salvador who has been living in the United States for the past eight years illegally, according to a news release issued by the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department.

The department was called Sunday morning to a rural Diamond home in reference to an alleged sexual assault overnight Saturday.

Portillo was located Tuesday at his place of employment, according to the Sheriff’s Department.

Portillo was being held Wednesday at the Jasper County Jail on $5,000 bond.

The Sheriff’s Department said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was notified of Portillo’s arrest.

I guess the illegal alien Leonardo will see American justice when he meets "Buba"- the Mayor of cell block C. Don't drop the soap Senior Leonardo.

Most often when I read the things written in the comments, it is so full of hate and anger and most often it is from people who don't know what they are talking about. I know 1st hand that illegal people can buy false identification that looks 100% real and not only can employers not tell the difference, many times US Immigration can not tell either without running the numbers etc through their computer. So stop placing blame on the wrong people! Also, how many times do young girls claim sex charges just because they are affraid of angry parents. I am not saying that sometimes it's not true, but many times it is not true and those lies destroy innocent lives. Please get the facts, all of them, before you place blame or point the finger.

The way that foreign national criminals are allowed to run rampantantly around this nation is sickening. This administration and the whole Democratic Party, led by Nancy Pelosi, are guilty, everytime some animal does this to someone innocent. We have no leaders who are looking out for Americans best interests and if you are deluded enough to believe one of the three bozos who are runnning for the Presidency cares about you, YOU REALLY ARE ONE HOPELESS AMERICAN.

Who was his employer? How soon can a search warrant be executed for the entire premises of his employer? Globe, please keep us informed of this on-going investigation and of the arrests that MUST be forthcoming. Thanks.

Why does the headline say "Man" instead of Illegal Alien. Why did they not report as to where he was working illegaly, so people would not do business with them, shame on all of them.

B-b-but, RG--a headline screaming "Illegal alien sodomizes 17-year-old Earth woman" would sound like the Globe had neglected to tell us about that invading force of saucers and evil alien greys that landed east of Reddings Mill two days ago. Whisper it--the editors are covering their *sses on this one.

If proven guilty,he should do prison time and then be deported.If not proven guilty he should just be deported.His employer should also face chatges for hiring an illegal alien.The illegal alien problem in this country will never be solved unless we start prosecuting those that aid the illegals!

Was his employer charged for employing an illegal alien?? By the way, he's not an immigrant, he's an illegal alien.

Again, as I commented on another article, "our" FAMILIES are at the mercy of ILLEGALS and their Anchor Babies being murdered, raped, or robbed. But NOT to worry the Chamber of Commerce will get their "cheap labor" increasing "their privatized" PROFITS, thanks to Bush and the Congressional Leadership!!

As long as our National Borders are Not Secured and our Immigrations Laws are Not Enforced our Families will remain in DANGER!
