ICE Arrests Convicted Illegal Alien Sex Offender Released by Sanctuary Boulder County

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s not just low-level criminal aliens who are released by sanctuary jurisdictions like Boulder County, Colorado, in defiance of federal law. Sanctuaries apparently will not honor ICE detainer requests even for those convicted of child sex charges.

“On Aug. 7, 2019, in Longmont, Colorado, deportation officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Roberto Gutierrez-Hernandez, 59, a citizen of Mexico, who was convicted July 15, 2019, in the 20th Judicial District Court Boulder County of sex assault on a child,” said an ICE spokeswoman in a statement issued last week to local media.

How was someone convicted of sex assault on a child released after conviction?

In July, Gutierrez-Hernandez was sentenced to 10 years of “sex offender intensive supervised probation,” but no jail time. I confirmed this with the Boulder County district attorney’s office. This explains why he wasn’t locked up even after the conviction. The fact that someone convicted of child sex offenses doesn’t serve a day of prison is also peculiar, but has become very common in blue states like Colorado.

But the story is worse than that. There is a history behind the Gutierrez-Hernandez story that has not been released to the public nor reported on by local media. According to ICE spokeswoman Alethea Smock, Gutierrez-Hernandez was arrested twice in 2017. Before being arrested for the child sex offense in November of that year, he was arrested in March. ICE placed detainers both times. Both detainers were ignored and he was set free, which makes the sex offense 100 percent avoidable. He should have been detained and deported after the March arrest. Moreover, this means an illegal alien sex offender was able to remain in the community for nearly two years through the disposition of this case without being removed.

“ICE lodged a detainer on Roberto Gutierrez-Hernandez, 59, a citizen of Mexico, with the Boulder County (Colorado) Jail after Gutierrez-Hernandez was arrested on local charges in March 2017,” said Smock Thursday to a CR inquiry. “The jail refused to honor the detainer and released him back to the community to reoffend. Gutierrez was later arrested for sexual assault on a child in November 2017, and ICE lodged another detainer with the Boulder County Jail. However, the jail refused to honor the agency’s detainer a second time.”

Court records show he was arrested for aggravated assault in March 2017, but charges were later dismissed. However, that should still have led to his removal. Only legal immigrants with green cards require a conviction to warrant removal.

It wasn’t until last month that Gutierrez-Hernandez was finally sentenced. Even then, he was let out on probation, and had ICE not caught up with him, he would have remained undetected. Colorado, in violation of 8 U.S. Code §1324 and §1373, passed a law earlier this year barring local law enforcement from sharing probation records with ICE. §1324 prohibits states from shielding aliens from detection, while §1373 prohibits them from “prohibit[ing], or in any way restrict[ing], any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.”

The purpose of those federal laws is quite simple. With the recidivism problem among criminals on probation, there is no reason why American communities should be on the hook for future crimes committed by illegal aliens. The entire premise of a criminal alien remaining in this country on probation is a laughable paradox. He should complete his “probation” outside the country, where, according to immigration law, he belongs, even without the criminal record.

Shockingly, even in the case of a convicted child sex offender, Colorado and Boulder County in particular will do everything they can to harbor the ultimate public safety concern.

This is a growing problem. As I reported earlier this month, Oregon has also let out criminal aliens charged with child sex offenses, against ICE detainers. Yet because of the DHS’ strict privacy policies, ICE officials are prohibited from proactively publicizing the egregious records of the criminal aliens shielded by sanctuaries or being heralded as “victims” by many in the local and national media.

In this case, for example, the local media is publishing puff pieces sympathetic to this convicted child sex offender and insinuating that ICE is denying this individual health care in the detention facility, but fails to mention the fact that he was a child sex offender who should long ago have been removed from the country if not for the sanctuary policies. Local media has been posting Facebook videos taken by this individual’s son and treating the convicted sex offender as a victim.

“I don’t feel he’s getting adequate care, no,” Robert Gutierrez said about his father, according to the local NBC affiliate. “From the calls that we’ve received from him, he complains a lot from the way the psychologist and doctors treat him. Yesterday we got reports of the psychologist laughing at whatever he was saying.” A group of activists are protesting treatment at the facility.

This is a case of inmates running the asylum. Illegal aliens can break into the country, be ordered deported, commit the most heinous crimes, and then when ICE does the community a favor and enforces the law, ICE agents get treated like the criminals while the child molesters are treated as victims.

It was only by chance that I came across this story and asked the right questions, which allowed ICE to release the truth about this individual. There are endless cases like these on a daily basis, but the information never gets out to the public. There is therefore no robust debate about how to close the criminal alien loopholes and enforce federal law against sanctuary cities. . .

Obviously, we are a very divided country on many issues, including some of the fundamentals of immigration policy. But by definition, if someone has to be placed on a sex offender registry and is therefore a public safety threat, how could we have illegal aliens knowingly listed by local government and not turned over to ICE? The entire purpose of the registry that we don’t lock up sex offenders forever and are forced to take precautions when they are let out. But illegal aliens can and should be removed from the country. How many other illegal aliens remain in this country in plain sight, listed on sex offender registries?

Why is it too much to ask that we don’t harbor other countries’ child sex offenders? (For more from the author of “ICE Arrests Convicted Illegal Alien Sex Offender Released by Sanctuary Boulder County” please click HERE)

2 Illegal Aliens Accused of Raping 11-Year-Old Girl in Sanctuary City

/0 Comments/in , /by

The video of a crying 11-year-old girl is being used by the Left to militate against enforcing our sovereignty and immigration laws. Apparently the rule should be that anyone can come here and remain here illegally if they have a child, because enforcing our laws will result in hardship to the kids. But no such heart-tugging imagery exists for all the girls raped and harmed by criminal aliens thanks to the lack of enforcement or loopholes in our laws. The latest atrocity involves a different 11-year-old girl who will never be seen on camera.

Yesterday, WJLA news reported that Montgomery County, Maryland, police arrested two illegal aliens from El Salvador, Mauricio Barrera-Navidad, 29, and Carlos Palacios-Amaya, 28, for raping an 11-year-old child known to the alleged attackers. The investigation was triggered by a discussion the child had with a school social worker last month, and the rapes are alleged to have occurred last September.

In September 2018, the victim was introduced to her older brother’s friend, Palacios-Amaya. Over the course of the next few months, the then 27-year-old man raped the middle schooler on multiple occasions, authorities allege. The victim recalled one instance where Palacios-Amaya “used his cell phone to video record the two of them having sex,” police noted in court documents.

The victim told the social worker that Palacios-Amaya would often pressure her not to attend school so that she could stay home while her parents were at work. That gave Palacios-Amaya unsupervised access to the girl.

Palacios-Amaya is charged with four counts of second-degree rape, and Barrera-Navidad is charged with one.

This story demonstrates, once again, that the people harmed the most by the lack of enforcement can be immigrant or illegal immigrant children. While the identity of a child victim is never released, it’s clear from the story that her older brother was friends with these individuals and they likely traveled in the same circles.

ICE spokeswoman Justine Whelan provided CR with the same statement regarding the immigration status of the accused as in the local ABC news report:

On July 25, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with the Montgomery County (Maryland) Detention Center on Carlos Ernesto Palacios-Amaya, a Salvadoran national, and a repeat immigration violator, following his arrest for rape. Palacios was previously removed from the U.S. in 2014.

On July 26, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with the Montgomery County (Maryland) Detention Center on Mauricio Barrera-Navidad, a Salvadoran national, unlawfully present in the United States, following his arrest for rape. Barrera is subject to a final order of removal that was issued by an immigration judge in December 2016.

Sadly, it’s unlikely that a single elected Republican, the DHS secretary, or anyone in the White House will even mention this horrific story, much less ask the salient public policy questions that Congress and the DHS must grapple with. Ken Cuccinelli, the acting USCIS director, seems to be the only member of government interested in highlighting these cases. Some questions that should be fodder for public hearings and debate over legislation, as well as changes in DHS policies, include:

What role do sanctuaries like Montgomery County play in incentivizing illegal aliens to come and remain in their jurisdictions undetected by law enforcement, and what can be done to correct this?

What role does the border crisis play in tying down agents doing processing so they can’t patrol the line and ensure that people who have already been deported, such as Palacios-Amaya, don’t return to the country?

What can be done about the endless cases of illegal aliens like Barrera-Navidad being ordered deported but never being deported?

Both parties, including the president, are now talking about “universal background checks,” red flag laws, assault weapons bans, and what can be done to avoid shootings. But why is there no discussion about what can be done to avoid keeping bad people in this country who don’t belong here? What about universal background checks on those coming to the border? Clearly, many are getting through without being thoroughly vetted in the rush to release anyone coming in with a child.

Also, what about the effort to push back against sanctuary cities? Last month, Montgomery County executive Marc Elrich signed an executive order directing county agencies never to ask about one’s immigration status nor cooperate with ICE. That is in direct defiance of the law requiring that illegal aliens not go undetected by law enforcement.

As Maryland and surrounding D.C.-area counties in Virginia become sanctuaries, it is also the area with the largest concentration of Salvadoran immigrants. This has attracted large groups of MS-13. In May, two MS-13 teens were charged with brutally dismembering a 14-year-old girl. They were arrested on murder charges the year before, but neighboring Prince George’s County, also a sanctuary, ignored an ICE detainer. In March, three MS-13 members who were settled in the area as “UAC” refugees were charged with a similar heinous murder.

In July, a Salvadoran illegal alien who was charged with child sex crimes and breaking into the home of the child was released by a liberal judge on just a $500 payment to the court. No thanks to the local law enforcement, ICE thankfully caught up with the perpetrator and apprehended him.

Our immigration laws are designed to ensure that not a single immigrant is a charge to Americans – on criminal grounds, health grounds, or financial grounds. Yet we have endless cases of illegal criminal aliens remaining in the country indefinitely to harm us. Why is there no full-court press by any Republicans – from the president to the Senate majority leader – on a safety and security agenda focusing on the bad people, not objects? That begins with bad people of other countries who can be removed.

As I wrote in my book, Stolen Sovereignty, even before federal immigration laws were on the books, the State Department regulated prospective immigrants.

Writing to a diplomat in Switzerland in December 1881, James Blaine, secretary of state for President Chester Arthur, expressed the following commonsense principle on immigration held by every great American leader—from our Founders until fairly recently: “While, under the Constitution and the laws, this country is open to the honest and the industrious immigrant, it has no room outside of its prisons or almshouses for depraved and incorrigible criminals or hopelessly dependent paupers who may have become a pest or burden, or both, to their own country.”

What has happened to our values on immigration? Why is it too much to ask that we know who comes into this country? (For more from the author of “2 Illegal Aliens Accused of Raping 11-Year-Old Girl in Sanctuary City” please click HERE)

The Illegal Alien Sex Crime Problem the Media Is Ignoring

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats don’t want children to be separated from child molesters at the border.

The requirement of “good moral character” in order to be naturalized as a citizen is as old as our first naturalization laws in 1790 and colonial laws before the Founding. The understanding was that although we are stuck with a lot of terrible natural-born Americans among the many terrific citizens, we should never choose to add new citizens who do not possess good moral character, given that allowing immigration is optional. The country only wanted “reputable and worthy characters” who were “fit for the society into which they were blended,” in the words of Rep. Theodore Sedgwick during the crafting of the Naturalization Act of 1790.

Obviously, one of the most important areas where this applies is in keeping out criminals who prey on the most vulnerable: children. Yet not only are we refusing to turn back unvetted illegal immigrants, among whom we know there are many criminals who already have records, our government is incentivizing these very people to use young children as tickets into our country. It’s truly hard to comprehend keeping such an evil policy that disregards the safety of Americans as well as the safety of immigrant children, but it is sold as the height of compassion.

The reports from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and from ICE of arresting illegal aliens both at the border and all over our communities on child sex charges are not random happenstance. If I were to drop every other issue I focus on, I could spend every hour focusing on a new case and still not make a dent in the number of illegal alien child sex offense cases that are out there.

One report from only 30 percent of North Carolina counties found that in just the past 18 months, more than 331 illegal aliens have been charged with 1,172 child rapes and child sexual assaults. Just one year’s arrests by ICE’s small forces netted illegal aliens who were charged with a total of 6,888 “sex offenses,” 5,350 “sexual assaults,” and 1,739 “commercialized sexual assaults.”

Some of this is culturally cultivated, from areas where sex with teenagers is not viewed as something criminal or wrong, but is often the regular practice. According to data from Girls Not Brides, a global nonprofit against child marriage, the child marriage rates for girls in Latin American countries from which we are seeing an uptick in illegal immigration are particularly high:

Nicaragua – 41%

Honduras – 34%

Guatemala – 30%

El Salvador – 25%

But when you focus on the people who are actually coming to the border, the numbers are starker. The rates vary dramatically between the urban areas and the poor rural areas, especially in countries like Guatemala.

According to GirlsNotBrides, “Child marriage tends to happen more in rural areas than in urban areas,” and in Guatemala, “over half of rural girls (mostly from Mayan indigenous populations) are married before 18.” They also note that “poverty can also drive child marriage in the region” and therefore, “Indigenous girls living in impoverished areas can be especially vulnerable to the practice.”

The report further observes that “trends over the past 30 years have shown” that Latin America and the Caribbean “is the only region not to see a significant change in rates of child marriage.”

So, who is having sex with a 14- or 15-year-old girl? Is it a 15-year-old boy?

“In Central America, the average [age] difference is 5 to 7 years, a significant gap given the girls’ young ages and the power difference between teenagers and people in their twenties.”

This shows the culture of relatively older men having sex with young girls. Remember, government officials have already said that these migrants are coming from the poorest areas of rural Central America, without sanitary conditions and health care. What comes along with that demographic is child sex. Many of those coming to the border speak indigenous languages and don’t even understand Spanish. It’s certainly not the wealthy and educated who are coming north.

While we feel terrible for billions of people living in very primitive cultures and subpar conditions throughout the globe, we must not be naive about the problems of some of those cultures that run counter to the universal values of even this divided country. None of us want to bring child sex predators into the country.

Liberals will kick, scream, and name-call over making this commonsense observation, but in any context other than illegal immigration, nobody would have a problem pointing this out. When it comes to helping people in those countries, everyone will readily publicize all of the cultural, fiscal, health, and criminal problems endemic to the areas. Yet the minute the discussion turns to transplanting hundreds of thousands of them over a short period of time to our country, suddenly those problems are ignored, and one who points them out is called a racist.

Just last month, a Guatemalan who was released into the country three months ago was charged in Alabama for sexually assaulting a minor under the age of 12. Given the daily cases we see at the border and the interior, how many more will we see in the coming years as a result of this wave?

Our laws on the books since the 1880s were designed to keep out values not supported by the nation. Prostitutes were inadmissible, as well as polygamists, who are still barred from entry to this day (8 US Code 1182(a)(10)(A)). We really need to think twice about the tipping point were “compassion” is really cruelty. (For more from the author of “The Illegal Alien Sex Crime Problem the Media Is Ignoring” please click HERE)

Illegal Alien, Wrongly Given Temporary Amnesty, Arrested for Molesting Minor

/0 Comments/in , /by

Another child was allegedly sexually assaulted multiple times by a Central American illegal alien who should have been deported, had our laws been properly implemented.

Yesterday, Customs and Border Protection announced that the U.S. Marshals’ Fugitive Task Force, working with a local Border Patrol agent, arrested an illegal alien from El Salvador in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on three counts of first-degree rape against a child between 2014 and 2016.

While every illegal alien crime, by definition, is avoidable if we had the proper border and interior enforcement in place, this case has an extra wrinkle to it. Andres Fuentes-Castro, 44, according to CBP, was encountered by U.S. Border Patrol-New Orleans Sector agents in 2007 during a traffic stop in Baton Rouge. He would have been deported and this alleged sexual assault would never have occurred, but Border Patrol found he was given Temporary Protected Status (TPS) as a Salvadoran national under the El Salvador TPS program. His status later expired in 2010 and was not renewed, rendering him a fugitive alien for nine years for not departing the country.

If our laws were functioning the way Congress designed them, Fuentes-Castro would have been deported in 2007. TPS was not designed to be an amnesty program for illegal aliens; it was designed as a sixth-month temporary stay for those who are here legally but can’t return home because of an intervening natural disaster.

El Salvador was granted that status in 2001 because of an earthquake. That status, pursuant to law, should have been terminated within six months or at most after 18 months of extensions under “extraordinary circumstances” (clearly lacking here). It should have applied only to very few people who happened to be in the country traveling during the earthquake. But instead, it was handed out to over 200,000 Salvadorans, far more than any other TPS-designated country, and is still being used 18 years later!

Why? Because it has been handed out to illegal aliens in the country, a complete debasement of the 1990 law Congress passed. The reason why El Salvador has the most TPS recipients is not because there happened to be 200,000 Salvadorans traveling on tourist visas visiting Disney World on January 13, 2001, when the earthquake struck. It is because that is the TPS-designated country with the most illegal aliens.

In 2007, Fuentes-Castro should never have had this status as an illegal alien, certainly not six years after the earthquake. But a number of criminals and particularly MS-13 members (who largely come from El Salvador) have been allowed to remain in the country against statute and commit countless avoidable crimes. Previous administrations violated the plain letter of the law. President Trump vowed to change this, and indeed ended TPS for certain countries, but has continued it for El Salvador at the behest of an extraordinarily lawless court ruling that defies multiple statutes, including one stripping the courts of jurisdiction over the issue.

Rather than clamping down on TPS abuse, Republicans and Democrats in Congress as well as some in the administration are seeking to expand this policy to Venezuela at a time when illegal immigration is increasing from there.

Also in Louisiana, on the same day, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry announced that another illegal alien was arrested on child sex charges. ICE has placed a detainer on Tomas Gabriel Chox-Lopez, who was caught in a child porn sting by state and federal law enforcement and charged with seven counts of possessing pornography involving juveniles under the age of 13.

Earlier this year, Miguel Martinez, an illegal alien who had previously been deported in 2005, was arrested in Louisiana on 100 counts of possession of pornography involving juveniles under the age of 13 years old, one count of production under the age of 13, and one count of sexual battery of a juvenile under the age of 13.

Often, illegal aliens remain in this country and are not deported after their first interaction with law enforcement because of sanctuary cities. In the case of Andres Fuentes-Castro, it was because of lawless federal executive policies that are against statute. Enforcing existing laws would go a long way in preventing rampant horrible crimes like this. Is it too much to ask that we not import other countries’ child molesters?

Elizabeth Smart Kidnapper to Be Released From Prison

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. . .Barzee, 72, will reportedly be released September 19th because the parole board did not give her credit for time served in federal prison.

“Upon further review and advice from legal counsel, the board must count time spent in federal custody toward Ms. Barzee’s state sentence,” wrote Greg Johnson, the director of administrative services.

After her arrest in 2003, Barzee admitted to helping her husband Brian Mitchell kidnap then-14-year-old Smart from her bedroom in Salt Lake City in the summer of 2002. They held her captive for nine months. Barzee also admitted to plotting to kidnap Smart’s cousin.

They board denied Barzee an earlier release date in July because they did not want to count the eight years she served in federal prison as time served on state charges. They had initially calculated that her sentence would continue through January 2024. . .

The Tribune also notes that Barzee “has refused to meet with a psychiatrist at the Utah State Prison, a board member had said — a mandatory requirement for parole after Barzee pleaded ‘guilty but mentally ill’ to the attempted kidnapping charge.” (Read more from “Elizabeth Smart Kidnapper to Be Released From Prison” HERE)

Elizabeth Smart Calls Decision to Free Captor ‘Incomprehensible’

By New York Post. One of Elizabeth Smart’s abductors is getting out of prison next week — a decision that the kidnapping victim says is “incomprehensible.” . . .

The teen was forced to “marry” Mitchell in a sham ceremony and was raped nearly every day for the next nine months. . .

Smart, who is now 30 and a child-safety activist, said in a statement that she was “surprised and disappointed” to learn that one of her tormentors would be free next week.

“It is incomprehensible how someone who has not cooperated with her mental-health evaluations or risk assessments and someone who did not show up to her own parole hearing can be released into our community,” Smart said.

Larry Nassar at Transfer Facility After First Taste of Prison Justice

/0 Comments/in , /by

[Larry] Nassar became public enemy no. 1 when it came to light that he had been abusing his position of power as the doctor at both Michigan State and Team USA Gymnastics to sexually assault countless young girls. . .

According to ESPN, Nassar was moved from the Tucson Federal Correctional Complex to Oklahoma City’s Federal Transfer Center. . .

Nassar’s court appointed attorneys filed in July that he had been assaulted almost immediately upon being put into the general population. . .

As superfluous as it may be, Nassar was sentenced to another 175 years in prison for first-degree criminal sexual conduct crimes in January. His child pornography sentencing had come in December.

Countless gymnasts have come forward to accuse Nassar of sexually abusing them. Some of the biggest names in gymnastics, such as Simone Biles and Aly Raisman, have come out in strong condemnation of Nassar.

Shocking: Pennsylvania Priests Molested Over 1,000 Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

By AP. Hundreds of Roman Catholic priests in Pennsylvania molested more than 1,000 children – and possibly many more – since the 1940s, and senior church officials, including a man who is now the archbishop of Washington, D.C., systematically covered up the abuse, according to a grand jury report released Tuesday.

The “real number” of abused children might be in the thousands since some secret church records were lost, and victims were afraid to come forward, the grand jury said. . .

The report put the number of abusive clergy at more than 300. In nearly all of the cases, the statute of limitations has run out, meaning that criminal charges cannot be filed. More than 100 of the priests are dead, and many others are retired or have been dismissed from the priesthood or put on leave.

Report Details Sexual Abuse by More Than 300 Priests in Pennsylvania’s Catholic Church

By CNN. A new grand jury report says that internal documents from six Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania show that more than 300 “predator priests” have been credibly accused of sexually abusing more than 1,000 child victims.

“We believe that the real number of children whose records were lost or who were afraid ever to come forward is in the thousands,” the grand jury report says.

“Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing; they hid it all. For decades. Monsignors, auxiliary bishops, bishops, archbishops, cardinals have mostly been protected; many, including some named in this report, have been promoted.”

The lengthy report, released Tuesday afternoon, investigates clergy sexual abuse daying back to 1947 in six dioceses: Allentown, Erie, Greensburg, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Scranton. (Read more from “Report Details Sexual Abuse by More Than 300 Priests in Pennsylvania’s Catholic Church” HERE)

Woman Repeatedly Sells Young Son to Pedophiles

/0 Comments/in , /by

A German woman committed one of the worst acts perpetrated on an innocent child in recent memory, selling her eight-year-old son on the darknet to pedophiles, who raped him repeatedly.

The 48-year-old woman, who has been sentenced to over 12 years in prison for selling her young son on the darknet to abusers, has a 39-year-old partner who is a convicted pedophile, according to The Guardian. He was also found guilty of sexually assaulting a 3-year-old girl, The New York Times reported. The Times added:

The court found that the man had assaulted the 3-year-old daughter of acquaintances who had visited the family for play dates. When the families’ relationship soured and the girl no longer visited, the man started his repeated assault of the woman’s son, the court said, with the woman’s full knowledge and participation. … The mother always stayed close by during the assaults, to act as a calming influence, according to testimony heard in court.

Almost 60 separate identified acts starting in 2015 targeting the son were listed; the partner received a 12-year prison sentence plus a preventative detention order, which will effectively function as a life sentence. Six other men who had paid the couple to abuse the boy, who is now 10, were sentenced to between eight and 10 years.

The men who abused the boy allegedly paid as much as $11,000 to the couple, who identified as Berrin T and Christian L, and admitted in court that they had sold the boy and even abused him themselves. The Guardian added, “Others on trial included a 44-year-old German who was given access to rape the boy but was prevented by the mother from carrying out his wish to kill him.” (Read more from “Woman Repeatedly Sells Young Son to Pedophiles” HERE)

Bishops’ Names to Be Removed From Diocese Buildings for Not Protecting Kids From Sex Abuse

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Catholic bishop ordered the names of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, diocese bishops who preceded him since the 1940s be removed from all diocesan properties, since the bishops didn’t protect children from sexual abuse, PennLive reported.

Ronald Gainer, the bishop of the Harrisburg diocese, also released the names of 71 individuals accused of child sex crimes. Of the names listed, 37 were priests in the Harrisburg diocese, three were diocese deacons, six were diocese seminarians, nine were clergy from other dioceses, and 16 were from religious communities, WHTM-TV reported. . .

One official with Villanova University — a Catholic college in the Philadelphia area — told the outlet that Gainer’s decision was “gutsy.”

“I commend him for stepping forward and showing that the responsibility, the real problem lies with church leadership,” Charles Zech, director of the school’s Center for Church Management and Business Ethics, told PennLive.

He added to the outlet that “you hear it here and there when someone has been found to not have lived the perfect life, but to remove all of the names is unprecedented. I applaud him for recognizing that they all have been culpable.” (Read more from “Bishops’ Names to Be Removed From Diocese Buildings for Not Protecting Kids From Sex Abuse” HERE)

WATCH: Couple Hog-Tie Man They Allege Was Propositioning Woman’s 13-Year-Old Daughter. Now They May Face Charges.

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. A Canadian couple in British Columbia may be charged with assault because they lured a 28-year-old man who they say was propositioning the woman’s 13-year-old daughter to their home, where they knocked him down and then hog-tied him with zip ties.

The couple lured the man to their Port Alberti, British Columbia, home last Thursday by having the woman pretend to be her daughter and message the man to invite him to her home to have sex with her. The woman said when the man showed up at her door, she knocked him down with a punch; her husband and a male friend then restrained him and tied his hands up . . .

The couple filmed a Facebook Live video, seen below, as the woman called the man a “predator” and alleged police refused to go to the house for the “meeting.” A female voice on the video states, “He came to my house to meet my 13-year-old f*****g daughter to f*** her. We f*****g tackled him and zap-strapped him and called the police. Because earlier today when I asked the police to come here for this meeting, they said no. Why wouldn’t the police come and help me catch this predator that just came to my f*****g house?”

Canadian police said they responded to a disturbance that left a man tied up as “a result of vigilante actions.” The man was freed of the zip ties, then taken to the hospital by police. He has not been charged.

Meanwhile, the couple was arrested, along with their male friend, and could be charged with assault resulting in bodily harm and forcible confinement, according to CHEK News.

‘Vigilante’ Parents Could Be Facing Charges After Allegedly Hogtying Man Propositioning Daughter, 13

By SF Gate. Two parents, who took matters into their own hands against a man they say was propositioning their 13-year-old daughter, may now be charged with assault after apparently restraining that man with zip ties when he turned up at their Canada home. . .

Canadian police confirmed parts of the account, telling news outlets that they responded to a disturbance that left a man tied up as “a result of vigilante actions.” The man was then freed of his restraints and taken to the hospital by police, and has not been charged. . .

The parents defended their actions against the man, saying they discovered the 28-year-old was sending her daughter “explicit messages” via Instagram over a month ago. The mother told news outlets that they told the police about the messages but were told to block the man’s account and forget about it.

“They wouldn’t even look at my phone,” the mother told CTV News. “I’ve been waiting for six weeks for the police to give me a name behind the Instagram account.” (Read more from “‘Vigilante’ Parents Could Be Facing Charges After Allegedly Hogtying Man Propositioning Daughter, 13” HERE)
