Sexual Assault Crimes

Man Sexually Abuses Young Women

How can sex offenders go under the radar for so long? Does neighbors or someone not find them suspicious? Maybe not. However, in some cases people do notice and they call the authorities.

A man has allegedly been sexually abusing a group of underage girls in Coolidge over a twenty year period. The witnesses have luckily began testifying in the trial for their attacker.

The suspect, Robert Molina’s victims said that the fifty-eight year old man would molest her when she was only twelve years old.

Another witness said that she woke up on night to find Molina fondling her. There will be seven brave young women testifying against Molina. The crimes started in the 1990’s.

Molina has been charged with six counts of child molestation as well as three counts of sexual conduct with a minor and three counts of sexual abuse.

The charges have been classified as, “dangerous crimes against children”. Luckily those cases usually have stricter and tougher penalties.

Police Arrest Sexual Assault Suspect

The prosecutor for this case, David Ahl said that Molina used his hand to sexually gratify himself and to repeatedly violate his victims. He did however, accuse the defendant saying that he put his hands down the children’s pants to touch them inappropriately while they slept.

Opening arguments got straight to the point, the prosecutors told the jury not to believe any suggestions that the victims were working as a “conspiracy”.

There was another witness to testify, she didn’t immediately report the abuse due to the fact that she was scared and embarrassed which isn’t uncommon for a case like this.

Molina has pleaded not guilty to all of the other charges. They’re claiming that the stories don’t “corroborate” with one another. He thinks that there is reasonable doubt involved.

I have a feeling this will not be a long trial. There’s too many witnesses against this man and evidence. However, with the right defense lawyer anything can happen.

Bishop Involved in Sexual Abuse Case

Bishop Faces Felony Charges

When you think of a Bishop you really don’t think of sexual abuse. However, sometimes it happens. You just never know now days, it can happen anytime and any where.

There were a few charges that have been dropped against the Arizona Roman Catholic bishop. However, the former church officials still face the sexual misconduct charges for the allegations that he molested a young boy thirty-five years ago.

According to reports, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge actually dismissed counts of public nuisance, fraud, fiduciary fraud and even negligent infliction of emotional distress. That still leaves eight of the original fourteen counts.

The retired bishop, Thomas O’Brien was accused of sexually abusing a little boy on several occasions. This happened at parishes in Phoenix and Goodyear. This was in 1977 to 1982. However, O’Brien still denies the allegations.

O’Brien led the diocese in Phoenix then it became a global scandal. The allegations rocked the Catholic church, now rumors spread about pedophiles priests going unpunished.

Bishop Sexual Assault

The Bishop said that in 2003 in an immunity deal that he would let the church employees who were accused of the sex abuse would continue to have contact with the children. How sick is that? Just weeks after the immunity deal, O’Brien resigned as the Bishop and was later arrested for a hit and run death of a pedestrian.

O’Brien had been a bishop in Phoenix for at least 21 years. The bishop resigned in 2003. This was after being accused of hit and killing, 43 year old Jim Reed with his vehicle.

The bishop didn’t even stop to help Reed or even report the accident to the authorities. Later, he did tell the investigators that he didn’t even realize that he had hit a person.

He also said that he thought he had hit a dog or cat or that someone had even threw a rock at his car. The prosecutors said O’Brien tried to have his windshield fixed. So there’s a pretty good clue that something was wrong. If he didn’t know for sure why wouldn’t you report it or even stop to be sure.

The man was sentenced to probation as well as 1,000 hours of community service this was after he was convicted of leaving the scene.

Child Sexual Abuse Case in Phoenix

Man Charged With Child Sexual Abuse

Child sexual abuse is sadly something that never goes away. It seems like more and more people are abusing children. Luckily they’re getting caught more and more as well.

Recently a man has been charged for two counts of child sexual abuse, soliciting a minor for indecent exposure, as well as possession of juvenile pornography has plead guilty to all of the above charges.

According to reports, sixty year old, Glenn Douglas Smith will receive thirty years in prison for three counts and twenty years in prison for the fourth count. He will also have to pay a $1,000 fine for each of those charges.

All but the first 25 years of the 30 year sentences were “suspended”. Each sentence is to “run concurrently”.

The reports say that Smith will not be able to try for parole for at least twenty-one years and three months. This is because it’s a child sexual abuse crime. When it’s a child sexual abuse crime, at least 85% of your sentence must be served before you can be considered for parole.

Of course after Smith gets out he will have to register as a sex offender.

Sexual Offender

According to the Department of Corrections, Smith actually has a past of similar  convictions. His past record includes two counts of lewd or indecent proposals/ acts to a child.

However, since the Oklahoma Sex Offender Registration Act didn’t go into effect until November 1, 1989 and he was convicted in June of ’89 he never had to register as a sex offender.

This time around Smith pleaded guilty to the accusations of sexually assaulting a thirteen year old on New Years Eve as well as performing oral sex on a child.

A woman “provided” the child for Smith to sexually assault in exchange for money is now being held without bond and is awaiting trial.

Her name is Heather Barbee and she is thirty-four years old. She is accused of sending kids to perform sexual acts with an adult. The suspect then received the payment from the adult in exchange for “not reporting the incident to the police”.

Barbee is facing two counts of enabling child sexual abuse and will return to court on October 12th.

Eighteen Year old Charged with Sexual Abuse

An eighteen year old young man has been charged with child sexual abuse. The alleged abuse supposedly happened several years ago when the victim was only seven years old.

Eighteen year old, William Norfleet is now being charged for the following after the young, brave girl’s “disclosure” to a relative. The first time she told was in August in 2016 then again last Spring. Due to the closeness of the reports,  authorities started an investigation into the matter.

Apparently Norfleet told the police investigators about both of the incidents. Reportedly they both included oral sex with the victim in August 2016 and another last Spring.

The charges however, pertain mainly to the references made about this year’s incident.

The reports said that the incident happened at an address in the N. Phoenix area.

A text message was found that Norfleet “explains” the issue to a relative.

Sexual Abuse Cases in Phoenix

Several Recent Sexual Abuse Hearings in Phoenix

 

A convicted felon has recently been arrested for claiming to be a rapist. He even threatened to rape an entire family and several children at the Hermosa Park on a Tuesday, according to the local police.

 

Fifty-six year old, Russell Theodore was arrested for the following charges: one count of luring a minor for sexual exploitation, one count of threatening and intimidating, and one more count of criminal trespassing in the first degree in a residential yard.

 

Theodore has been accused of confronting the victim as well as her twelve year old daughter near 20th street and southern avenue. He even told them that  he was a “rapist”.  Theodore (the suspect) had allegedly threatened to rape both of the girls as well as the other children nearby, According to the police reports.

 

The mother was luck enough to catch the attention of a park ranger. The ranger then followed Theodore and called the police. Theodore fled to a residential area at 20th Place and Roeser Road. That is where he got in trouble for the trespassing.

 

A second witness from the scene had told the local authorities that Theodore had actually been seen and heard threatening to rape several people. Theodore was then arrested and booked into the 4th Avenue jail. Theodore’s record wasn’t exactly clean to begin with, he was previously convicted of burglary, theft of means of transportation, and public indecency.

 

Thank goodness the authorities was able to catch this pervert before something happened to those women and children.

 

Child Sexual Abuse in Colorado

 

The police have now charged a twenty-six year old man with sexually assault of a fourteen year old girl in Colorado. He has had “varying degrees of contact” with the girl. Arizona authorities say that the contact include, illegal and physical contact.

 

The twenty-six year old young man, Anthony Martinez was tracked all the way to Flagstaff, Arizona. On May 11 of this year, the police arrested him. He is now in the Coconino County Jail.

 

The Police say that Anthony had been communicating with young girls around 2011-2015 through social media. He had asked them to exchange photographs and would sometimes even meet the girls at “locations often frequented by younger members of our community” according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.

 

The investigation for the sicko started back in November 2014. The police had opened a sexual assault investigation that involved a fourteen year old girl. During that particular investigation, the police were able to find information that would lead them to a search within other states.

 

The police are trying to identify anyone who might have been in physical contact with Anthony or even had exchanged photos with him. If so, please contact the Colorado Springs Police at 719-444-7000. If you call, please just let the investigators know that you’re calling about the Anthony Martinez case.

 

Police say that this isn’t a one state case, they have leads in Montana, New Mexico, New York, and California.

Former Phoenix Elementary School Teacher Sexually Abused Students

Sexual Predators Found Everywhere

 

Sexual predators are on the rise. They are sneaky and can pretty much anywhere in the world. They could be an old neighbor, a teacher, a doctor, there are literally no tattle tale signs of a sexual predator. Some of the nicest people can be harboring a deep dark secret.

 

Some of the sexual assault cases are solved pretty quickly, however some could go on for years. Police try their best to catch these criminal’s as quickly as possible, but sometimes proof is hard to find or the suspect flees and goes into hiding.

 

Sexual Assault

 

Sexual assault is considered a personal offense.  A Personal Offense is made for “codes to protect the physical integrity of the body”.

 

Battery is a type of personal offense as well. Most people think Battery means “unlawful touching” that does not include the knocks and jolts of everyday life. An example of battery would be someone touching you in a harmful way.

 

Assault is creating a fear of “imminent battery”. Assault is like when someone attacks you in a fight. Other forms of battery can include: non-consensual intercourse or rape is considered an egregious form of battery. Sexual assault would fall into this category as well.

 

Examples of Sexaul Assault

 

Phoenix Teacher Accused of Sexual Assault

As sad as it is, there are plenty of examples of sexual assault cases just in Phoenix alone. A recent breakthrough on a local sexual assault investigation brings closure to one family.

 

Phoenix police have arrested an after-school arts and crafts instructor. The man was also a former Phoenix elementary school teacher. The investigators have stated that the man had sexually abused children as well as some of his own students. This went on for over a decade.

 

Jose Ruben Mada was arrested on a Tuesday. He was first arrested to crimes involving a teenage girl who he had known back in the mid 1990’s. According to the police report, Jose Mada’s sexual abuse run, dated back all the way to the early 2000’s.

 

Apparently it was happening before the 2000’s though, because the accuser claimed she had been abused from 1995-1997.  At that time, she was only in eighth grade. Poor girl must have been scared to death. The girl told the police that Mada had came into her room and would touch her body, such as her breasts and vagina while kissing her. She also told the authorities that Mada had told her not to tell anyone.

 

The now, woman gave the investigators a letter that her former instructor had written to her. The letter stated that his actions were “unacceptable”. When she was able to confront him, for something I’m sure has bothered her, her whole life, he simply said he did not know why exactly he did it. He claimed that it was “just one of those things that happened”.

 

Mada is currently a teacher for an after-school arts and crafts program that is for children between the ages six and twelve. The police report also said that the allegations against, fifty-four year old Mada had said that he had inappropriately touched and kissed his students over the years.

 

In 2002 he was a fourth grade teacher at the Bethune Elementary school. Documents show that the State Board of Education records showed that Mada had been fired from the Phoenix Elementary School District that year. This was after the sexaul harassment charges.

 

 Sexual Predator Takes Polygraph Test

 

The investigating officers at the time, gave Mada a polygraph test (lie detector) after there was another incident with a third grade girl who said that he had lifted her shirt above her breasts and then rubbed her stomach. However, he was cleared from any kind of criminal conduct after the examination.

 

Mada then went to teach at the Rose Linda Elementary school, which is still in the Roosevelt Elementary district.  Mada didn’t stay under the radar long though. In 2009 he actually resigned after one of his students had claimed to the school nurse that she was afraid of Mada because he would kiss her, touch her legs, and even slap her on her buttocks. However, according to the State Board of Education documents, there was no proof of any criminal acts. Mada finally gave up teaching in 2010.

 

According to the police report, he actually admitted to his struggle with his sexual attraction to children, which had been going on for years. It’s hard to tell how many children he had tried to mess with, he had been in the school system as a teach or teacher’s aid for twenty-six years.

 

Mada is being held without bond for charges of “dangerous crimes against children”.

 

Sexual Assault

 

Sexual Abuse is sometimes called molestation. Molestation is when someone is forcing undesired sexual behavior by one or more people towards another. When the force is “right now” or immediate, short term, it’s called a sexual assault. Most the time the offender is then called a sexual abuser or a molester. When the victim of sexual abuse is younger than the age of consent, then that is child sexual abuse.

 

Child Sexual Abuse, is a form of child abuse. It is when the child is sadly abused for the sick sexual satisfaction of an adult or older adolescent. There are several forms of child sex abuse.

 

Child Sex Abuse Examples

 

Sexual Contact is one form. That is when an adult or whoever is engaging in indecent exposure of their personal body parts to a child with the intent to “gratify” their own sexual desires.

 

The effects of child sexual abuse could and most likely does last a life time. Most victims feel guilt, self blame, flashbacks, nightmares, trouble sleeping, low self esteem, sexual dysfunction, chronic pain, addiction, self injury, suicidal tendencies, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, as well as other life long symptoms.

 

Victims of child sex abuse are over six times more likely to attempt to commit suicide. They are eight times more likely to try to repeatedly kill themselves. In Fact, much of the side effects of child sexual abuse actually come later in life.

 

It’s a sad thing to think about. I know I’m terrified to send my child to school. You literally never know who a pedofile could be. You never want your child or anyone to experience the fear, pain, and all the trauma from being sexually abused. The school system and police can only do so much to keep your children safe. It’s sad to think that the people who are supposed to be protecting and caring for your children could very well be one of the people hurting them.

 

There are plenty of help-line’s if you or someone you know is a victim of sexual abuse. You can call anonymously at any time to talk. No one will judge you, they are here to help. If someone you know or love has been abused, please try those help hot lines.

 

Make sure to always talk to your children about their teachers. Let them know that if something goes on that makes them uncomfortable that they can always tell you and not get in trouble. A lot of kids feel like they did something wrong, so make sure that your children always know that they have that freedom to come and talk to you.

Phoenix Woman Accused of Abusing Her Son

 Woman Accused of Abusing Her Two Year Old Son

 

When you have a child, most people want to protect them and keep them from harm. How a woman could abuse her own son is beyond me. I can’t understand how anyone would harm a child, let alone your own flesh and blood.

 

A woman from Phoenix has now been accused of abusing her two year old son. She has pleaded no contest to the child abuse or the sexual misconduct with a minor charge. Seriously? That poor baby. You wouldn’t think a mother could do that to her own son. You usually have to worry about predators outside of the house, not in.

 

Woman Being Sentenced for Abusing Her Son

 

The Maricopa County prosecutors say that the mother, Rickesha Jovani Burns, twenty-two years old, has entered her plea on Friday. Burns is set to be sentenced on December Third of this year.

 

The Phoenix Police were called to the home in March 24, 2013. They found the suspect, Rickesha Burns holding her young son. The police say that the little boy was crying and bleeding. They immediately transported her son to the hospital in Phoenix. Burns told the police that her young son had been playing with a twelve year old little boy at the park that day. She claims the twelve year old had done something to her son.

 

The doctors said that her son had injuries around his rectal area, he even had to have surgery to remove a foreign object. That literally had me crying writing that. Who would be so sick to do that to anyone, let alone a little baby. I hope they find justice for this poor child.  Phoenix Police say that the didn’t find any evidence that a child had assaulted her son at the park.
