Two illegal migrants who have been arrested for gang-raping a seven-year-old girl should not be spared from the death penalty if convicted,
Florida's Attorney General has declared.
Josue David Mendez-Sales, 26, and Pablo Neftaly Cobon-Mendez, 23, were arrested in West Palm Beach and charged with sexual battery on the seven-year-old child.
Attorney General James Uthmeier stated that he expects the State Attorney for the 15th Judicial Circuit to seek the death penalty for the two suspects, both from Guatemala.
According to police, Mendez-Sales admitted to sexually abusing the girl around five times over the past three months, claiming he was intoxicated during each incident and couldn't recall the details.
He also told investigators he had recently struck the child with a belt.
He and a second suspect are both being held without bond at the Palm Beach County jail.
If convicted, Mendez-Sales faces five mandatory life sentences and up to five additional years for child abuse, while Cobon-Mendez faces two mandatory life sentences - with the death penalty possible for both under Florida law.
West Palm Beach Police Chief Tony Araujo called the case 'heinous.'
The investigation is ongoing.
Comment:
This poor child will be psychologically scared for life.
These two illegal aliens should never allowed out of prison.
Did these two criminals enter our country under the four years of Joe Biden's open border policy?
