Rape victim encounters attacker

We constantly hear about "trauma" caused by immigration raids, how about some exposure of the trauma caused by rape, murder, theft and the myriad of crimes perpetrated by people with no right to live here?


Rape victim encounters attacker
Panel advances bill closing loophole that aids illegals

A teenage rape victim in Adams County believed she would be safe after her attacker, an illegal immigrant, agreed to 'voluntary' deportation from the United States.

'A few weeks later, this girl is walking down the street and comes face to face with her rapist,' Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, told the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. 'You want to talk about trauma? You want to talk about just the awful feelings this produced in this young woman?'

Stephens urged the committee to close a loophole that gives career criminals facing stiff prison time a 'get-out-of-jail-free card' that U.S. citizens can't obtain.

Offenders routinely admit they're illegal immigrants and demand deportation. Their attorneys later get state criminal charges dismissed by telling a judge the defendant has been 'deported against their will,' as one law enforcement official put it. They even get their bond money back.

As the Adams County case shows, deportation is operated on a kind of 'honors system,' which crooks violate to stay in the country, Stephens said. 'This is an issue of getting justice for victims,' said Stephens, sponsor of House Bill 1040 that aims to slam shut that loophole.

The committee agreed, voting unanimously to advance the bill.

It bars dismissing criminal charges when illegal immigrants are released to federal immigration authorities. Instead, a judge must issue an arrest warrant, so if a deported offender is caught re-entering the country, he'll be re-arrested on the prior charge. The bill also allows for the defendants to be prosecuted for the state crime and serve prison time here.

To pay for increased jail time for some of the estimated 16,000 illegal immigrants arrested annually in the state for crimes besides unlawful entry, the bill requires that bonds posted by deported offenders will be seized by the state.

He broke all the laws he broke, including raping a U.S. citizen...and they let him go on the 'honor system'? Someone needs to have their head examined.

And 16,000 crimes a year other than crossing our borders illegally in the first place??? Multiply that times every state!!

What an outrage!

For myself this criminal behavior happening over and over is despicable and once again I want to know, where are the Womens organizations?

A group of any kind that gets a free pass after a rape should bring them out screaming and demanding a change in our justice system.

I should think they would want to sign on for an America that treats all women with respect.

I agree with you SOVEREIGN, where are the women's organizations and why aren't they raising holy hell? Maybe they've been brainwashed by the pc/bs groups and are afraid of being labeled racists.

Ok, I know it was probably a waste of my time, but I sent NOW the link to this article asking them why we hear nothing from them on illegal aliens while American women endure rape, torture, gang rape, beatings and being murdered on American soil every day. Let's see if they respond with something besides a form letter.

I can't imagine how disturbing it was for this girl to come face to face with the man who raped her, it must have been horribly traumatic.

If I were her father I would want to get my hands around this rapists' neck.

This guy could be stalking his next victim right now knowing if he gets caught so what, he's got a get out of jail free card.

If this animal had been American --IT -- would be locked up for years to come. I just don't understand how our "leaders" get away with this. Does anyone know if any of the victims of crime by illegals has ever filed a class action suit?
