Pasco rape victim 'surviving,' happy about teens' arrests

The 89-year-old woman who was sexually assaulted and nearly smothered during a home invasion robbery this week said this morning that she is "delighted" to hear arrests were made in the case. "I'm bruised all over from the beating they gave me," the woman said as she stood in the driveway of her home in Palm Terrace Gardens. She said is "surviving," but still in pain. "I'm 4-11 but have 6 feet of pain," said the woman, who told investigators that three masked men broke into her home, raped her, ransacked the house while looking for money and tried to smother her with a pillow. She told investigators that she heard one of her assailants say, "Is she dead yet?" The Pasco County Sheriff's Office arrested Carlos Fernandez, 15, and Luis Reyes Jr., 14 were charged with attempted first-degree murder, sexual battery, grand theft auto and burglary.
The mother of Reyes, though, said today that her son didn't participate in the attack, although he was at the woman's house when it happened. Aida Santiago said her son stood at the door and froze when he saw the woman was being assaulted by the other two people.

"He is angry at himself for being there," she said.

Santiago said she turned her son in to the sheriff's office. She said his mistake was picking the wrong friends and she had warned him about associating with Fernandez.

"I told him, 'He is bad news. Don't hang with him,' " she said.

Investigators said that Wednesday wasn't the first time Fernandez and Reyes were at the woman's home. On April 2, the teens, along with 16-year-old Sean Michael Maus, broke into the woman's house, the sheriff's office reported.

They took a flashlight, snacks and the keys to her car, which they took on a "joy ride," the sheriff's office reported. The car was recovered.

Reyes and Fernandez have been charged in the car theft. The teens also have been charged in connection with recent burglaries at Georgia's Smoke Shop, 11134 U.S. 19 Port Richey, and Jasmine Discount Beverage, 10604 Devco Drive, Port Richey.

Maus, of 11240 Snyder Ave., Port Richey, was arrested Wednesday and charged with grand theft auto and burglary.

Detectives are investigating whether Maus is connected to the sexual assault and robbery of the woman, sheriff's spokesman Kevin Doll said.

The parents of Fernandez and Maus couldn't be reached for comment.

Dawn Walzak, a neighbor who knows the Maus family, said Maus' mother was a caregiver for the woman who was attacked.

Walzak said she is angry about the situation, both because of the crimes committed against the woman and because of Maus' possible involvement in at least leading the other teens to the woman's house.

"I hate to think any teenage boy has the capability to do this to that woman," Walzak said.

She also said Maus' mother should have realized when the car was stolen that her son had access to the car.

Walzak said she has known Maus since he was at student at Schrader Elementary School, where her son also attended. Maus was in special education classes and one of his legs didn't grow correctly, she said. Often he was in a cast or a wheelchair because of medical procedures to try to correct the problem, she said.

Walzak said her family used to secretly leave gifts at the Maus house on Christmas Eve because they worried the children there wouldn't get any presents.

She said Maus was a "good boy who had potential," but had a difficult home life and "what was bad in his life was so bad" he couldn't overcome it.

Look at whom the US denies residency

We want the Americans to know to what kind of a country they sent us back to.”Wentzel Herbst said: “I’ve had to go through another hijacking and, this time, my children were with me.”

Herbst had been in the car with his brother-in-law, Jimmy Watson, when Watson was killed during a hijacking just more than a week ago.

Wentzel, his wife, Carol, and their children, Deiran, six, and Tegan, three - who were born in the United States - were visiting the Watsons in Delmas.

Three years ago, the family was refused asylum in the US, after being there for six years and had to return to South Africa.

They had applied for asylum in the US because of the crime situation in South Africa.

Just before they left for the US, Wentzel had been shot in the back during a hijacking.

Wentzel and the children went to buy food for the family who had gathered in Delmas after they had heard that Watson’s daughter, Sharon Knoetze, had died in a car accident seven hours earlier.

Carol said: “My children are traumatised. They got such a fright when they saw the violence of the hijacking and when their father yanked them out of the car so quickly.

Wentzel said: “When we said we feared for our safety in South Africa, the Americans thought we were joking and said that South Africa was a perfectly safe country to go back to.”

Carol said: “If it were just me and my husband, it wouldn’t be that bad, but the children don’t know how to process it.”

When they came to South Africa, they were totally American.

“We had to teach my son (who was four at the time) not to talk to strangers because they could steal Mommy’s handbag.

“Since we’ve been back, many of our things have been stolen.”

She said of her son: “He can’t sleep at night - he said he was scared of baddies and that was before the hijacking.

Her daughter had struggled to fall asleep at night since the hijacking.

The American embassy would not comment on specific cases, but according to documentation on requirements for asylum seekers, crime wasn’t one of the criteria.

The fact that the children were born in the US did not make a difference to the status of the parents.

Whites to become minority in U.S. by 2050(And the White news commentator said it with a smile!)

Recent studies have shown what most of us who don’t have our heads in the sand know all too well. Whites will be a minority in their own country by 2050. Immigration will drive the population of the United States sharply upward between now and 2050, and will push whites into minority status, projections by the Pew Research Center showed Monday. This will make it impossible to vote our way out of this situation, or hope for legislation that we prefer. With the hope for a peaceful political solution to the problem facing Whites today dwindling, it appears our nation is pointing head long into the abyss with no hope of a u-turn. It is important that you share this with your friends and family, we need to start thinking about racial politics now, and what is right for our family, and our extended racial family. Someday it will come to a head, and we need to be mentally prepared for it. Your children are counting on any small action you take right now to help spread the word.

Funniest Arrest Photo EVER!

Allentown police had suspected William Torres of dealing drugs in the city. But an undercover narcotics investigation yielded much more, and resulted in Torres, 21, being charged early Saturday with two counts of homicide.

Police said Torres, whose last known address was 436 Turner St., Allentown, gunned down two men at Fourth and Allen streets last month. According to court documents, Torres admitted killing the men.

Torres was driving on Turner Street Friday afternoon when he was pulled over by police and arrested. He was wearing a hooded sweartshirt with a skull-head pattern on it, pajama bottoms and fuzzy lion-faced slippers at the time. He was still wearing the get-up when he was arraigned after midnight at Lehigh County prison.

He is being held without bail on the homicide charges and two charges of conspiracy to commit homicide.

In a separate matter, he was charged Saturday with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, two counts of possession with intent to deliver and conspiracy.

Police said the drug charges stem from an undercover investigation in which police made controlled buys at 615 Gordon St. and kept the house under surveillance. Four people, including Torres, were selling cocaine and heroin out of the home, according to court documents.

Police have not said how they came to suspect Torres in the shooting deaths of Carlos Collazo, 32, and Jorge Camacho, 36, both of Allentown. But in an affidavit filed in court, police said Torres told them that he and another man had been looking for Collazo and Camacho, and that Torres admitted to killing both. The other man has not been charged in the homicides.

Camacho, who was a mechanic, and Collazo, were found in the 500 block of N. Fourth St. on Dec. 12. Residents reported hearing four or five shots and seeing a car speeding away at about 7:50 p.m. Police at the time said they were looking for a dark-colored vehicle and two men.
