Mexican Arrested for Rape of 3-Year-Old

(Brownsville, Texas) On Sunday, Brownsville Police arrested a Mexican man, Julian Rodriguez, AKA Julian Rodriguez-Puente, for allegedly raping his housemate's 3-year-old daughter. Beware of the trusted family friend.

From BrownsvilleHerald.com:

Jail records show that Julian Rodriguez, 44, was arrested and charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Brownsville Police Sgt. Jimmy Manrrique said Rodriguez, his wife and their two sons shared a house on the 6100 block of Boca Chica Boulevard with a single mother with three children and one granddaughter.

Manrrique said the mother’s 18-year-old daughter was giving her own baby a bath when her 3-year-old sister came in complaining of pain. The toddler told family members and investigators that Rodriguez had sexually assaulted her.

Brownsville Municipal Judge Phil Bellamy denied bail to Rodriguez-Puente since he's a Mexican and risk of flight was determined to be 100 percent. If convicted, Rodriguez-Puente could be sentenced to five to 99 years in prison.

Oddly, although the reporting on this story identifies Rodriguez-Puente as a Mexican, it fails to specify whether he's in the U.S. legally or otherwise. I'd guess otherwise. The media are probably just being "sensitive."
