Man accused of raping children flagged as an illegal immigrant

In case you missed it, here is a link to my colleague's story about the Charlotte man who is accused of raping children ages 7 and 8. After receiving a tip from one of our frequent posters, Ghoul, we contacted the sheriff's department and learned that they had an immigration detainer on Ricardo Velasquez. One of our cops reporters, Cleve Wootson, took it from there.

Suspect who's jailed in south Charlotte case has also been flagged as an illegal immigrant.

A man accused of raping two children in south Charlotte Sunday night has been flagged as an illegal immigrant in Mecklenburg jail.

Ricardo Velasquez was in jail late Wednesday. He was given a $170,000 bond but was also being held by immigration authorities after sheriff's deputies identified him as an illegal immigrant under the 287(g) program.

Velasquez, 40, was charged with two counts of rape on a child under 13, two counts of taking indecent liberties with a child, and two counts of first-degree sex offense on a child. The children were ages 7 and 8, according to a police report.

IF S.B.1070 WAS ENFORCED WHEN THIS
MAN WAS ARRESTED 3 TIMES IN 1997
HE WOULD'VE BEEN DEPORTED. INSTEAD, WE HAVE A MARXIST MORON IN THE WHITE HOUSE THAT WOULD RATHER "SUE ARIZONA AND SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO". ANYTHING BUT HONORING
THE OATH HE TOOK.

So I hope the CO is cutting Ghoul a check for breaking this story.

But why didn't you share your thoughts with us about this story, Franco? You know like you do with all the other illegal alien stories you post on your blog.

Ghoul said...

Franco, I pick on you because, well, you deserve it most of the time. But at least you manned up here. Thanks, now get Clive to find out why the CMPD discontinued the Significant Event Log.

Ghoul said...

David, no check needed, just report the facts and I will be happy.

So many simply miss the obvious point. Yes, this country already has it share of sickos. However, if we *really* secured our borders and actually enforced our immigration laws, then there could be one less sicko from another country causing havoc in *our* country, and at least these children would have escaped such brutality that will haunt thme for their whole lives. We have our own problems, we certainly do *not* need other scum from other countries adding even more sadistic and evil deeds. Enough already. *Enforce* our immigration laws, *secure* and *protect* our borders and prosecute those who hire *illegal* immigrants. It's past time for the vast majority to take action- VOTE those weak-kneed politicians out who refuse to make a stand and get *tough* on ILLEGAL immigration. Stop the inaction and *act* now. We are fed-up and disgusted this serious issue has been ignored for so long. Protect and defend our American citizens. Have a look at Mexico's strict and harsh immigration laws.. I am so tired of the hypocrisy and subterfuge. Enough. There is a reason why the vast majority of Americans actually support what Arizona has done... from all over the country, crossing political parties. We've had enough.

Here's the link to the original story where you can still make comments before they decided to stop folks from voicing their opinions and tellling the truth... it just might hurt someone's feelings... have a pity party. Of course, I see good ol illegal immigration booster, Franco, has to approve what we say here. How PC, how sickening, and how un-American. I reckon the truth hurts the guilty and law breaking cheerleaders. The voters *will* have their say soon enough.

Mecklenburg County should offer citizens $100 per illegal they get deported.

I can't wait for the award-winning story, "What Will Happen to Ricardo?"

at this point the president has to ask himself: are 11,000,000 democratic votes worth 2 young children being raped?

This is addressed to the semi-rational people who have not yet adopted the knee-jerk reaction that all the world's problems are Obama's fault.

President Obama has deported more illegal immigrants in 2009 than any other president has managed to do in any one year. He's on track to beat that number in 2010. Not only that, he's concentrated limited resources on capturing the violent criminals among the illegal immigrants and has surpassed his predecessors in deporting them as well.

Don't believe me--google Obama and deportation. Here's a link for the lazy: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/25/AR2010072501790.html

But, then again, I forget how George W Bush and the Republican congresses solved the immigration policy earlier in the decade.

THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS REFLECK THE
ANGER ACROSS AMERICA. OBAMA AND HIS MINIONS WILL PAY DEARLY IN NOVEMBER. OBAMA IS NO MORE THEN A MEDIOCRE PRODUCT OF AFFIRMITIVE ACTION!

Ghoul said...

Man Franco, I can't imagine how many posts your are deleting or just not allowing through. We should get together for lunch one day, keep up the good work.

Don't blame the government for everything. Those who employ and allow the illegal immigrant to prosper while citizens cannot find jobs should be charged with aiding and abetting the enemy. I have 30 years experience in my profession and have been unemployed almost 2 years. Where I live they verify my citizenship before employment, do they not do this everywhere in the U.S.A. ??? Maybe I should move to Mexico or India or wherever the jobs we americans used to have moved. Less illegal immigrants, less sickos, lord knows we have enough sickos without getting them from another country.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, we have just over 1.5 million people under jurisdiction of corrections: prisons, jails, parole and probation.

There are 11.6 million undocumented aliens in the United States. We can try to get them all, or we can concentrate on these depraved criminals and thugs. Joe Arpaio leaves felony warrants unserved so he can grandstand in a Home Depot parking lot.

I would rather get rid of scum like child molesters and gangsters than the mother of two American citizen children who is making beds in a motel for minimum wage, but maybe that's just me.

I see that the same moron is still writing in big print. He thinks by doing that it might get him more attention. Some more uneducated conservative blabbering.

If Franco let all the comments go thru, this blog would be xxx rated!
