Get the rope!
Before or after he’s found guilty? :)
After of course.
Thank you to the citizen who went above and beyond to protect her (and possibly future victims)!!!
Romie Duarte is this what you were talking about?
Yary it sounds like it.
Grab the torches
Hmm sounds like a scapegoat… It’s too convenient it’s a homeless man. No offense to the victim or anything
Obviously you’ve never had an encounter with a a homeless criminal. You’re fortunate.
No, actually that is incorrect. I have had many encounters with the homeless and they could’ve been criminals, but I don’t think to ask them that. I am fortunate, and instead of judging the homeless, I use my privilege to try and help.
Regardless, I’m glad the girl is safe and that this has a happy ending.
Melanie it is not a matter of judging someone who is homeless. Did you read the article? Obviously not. The poor victim here is NOT the homeless person. You are punishing the true victim again by refusing to acknowledge that the criminal is just that, regardless of being homeless.
Thomas I am not refusing anything. I never once said he didn’t do it. I’m just saying, knowing the mentality of this valley, that pinning the crime on a homeless individual seemed convenient. That’s it.
It seems the man was identified.
Oh. My. Word.
Saying “no offense” doesn’t mean your statement wasn’t offensive.
Or could it be that the homeless man doesn’t care if he gets arrested since he’ll have food and better care in prison anyway.
Wait… There aren’t any homeless people in scv….
There is an entire homeless shelter in Santa Clarita..
Pretty sure that was sarcastic….
Hope your being sarcastic.
He’s just an idiot.
He’s no longer homeless. Free room and board.
No kidding!
3 hots and a cot. 8-)
Well looks like he found a home now, in Jail! hopefully its permanently!
I hope it’s him & not an innocent person that would really suck !!!
Next week he will not only not be homeless, he will be a citizen by executive order!
Has the supposed victim stepped forward yet? As of yesterday no one had and I hadn’t heard anything recently that said she had. I’m just wondering how they are charging someone with attempted kidnapping/rape without the victims testimony….or are we not following the book anymore in this town?!?!
There were two reports that explained the victim came forward. I think in scvtv report and antelope valley report.
Hope everyone is happy they voted for Prop 47 . That turns these felony charges into misdemeanors. This poor victim will get to live with the fact that Californians voted for the rights of the criminal over hers.
You obviously didn’t read the proposition, prop 47 is for some NON-VIOLENT crimes. Kidnap and rape is in fact a violent crime the last time I checked. Go be an idiot somewhere else and check your facts before you post this utter garbage.
Yaaaaassss^^
Gerry, you surely don’t believe that the DA won’t plea bargain this down to a misdemeanor? Of course! Then because of Prop 47, he walks free. You need to quit deluding yourself. Anyone who voted for Prop 47, say hello to this low life when you pass him in the supermarket aisle.
He won’t be in the supermarket aisle because he’s homeless…
Also, there are 5 counts of felony violent crimes being charged so even if the DA tried a plea bargain, I’m sure he wouldn’t “walk free”.
Does it feel good using this victim’s story as leverage for your political agendas?
Correct everything he did in this attack is a felony. However the day (or two) before this attack he was caught at stater brothers stealing beer and other items which before prop 47 was a felony, now it was a misdemeanor he was ticketed and let go.
Prop 47 is only going to make people more bold in their crimes. Stealing a gun was a felony, guess what, now it’s not.
Learn to educate yourselves.

Yes Gary mason is correct.
He was released just before this incident guided by the new prop 47. He was not the only one….
And for all who wanted more gun control… Well prop 47 now makes possession of a gun a misdemeanor as opposed to a felony.
In short, California voters just made the punishment for being in possession of a firearm less severe, but cry about gun control.
Non- violent offenders are perfectly capable of committing violent crimes as well. If the voters say release them then ok…
Then hold the shock when this type of incidents occur.
A criminal is a criminal, whether they have a place to live or not.

Yeah I seen it perro desgraciado!!!!
I know :( que le corten el you know what! !!!
Open the borders they said….

I saw this happen right as the girl was being helped by the Good Samaritan. At first I thought the young girl knew the man because she didn’t do anything. She just sat there. I was about to find out what was going on when I noticed a black car pull up, and she got in it. The homeless guy just stayed there by the bus stop. I didn’t know the girl had been attacked by him. Scary

POS
It’s not just about race, it’s about the evils at heart he does need to be locked up weather he’s black, latino, white, alien, its wrong can’t be trusted!
Isaac Vazquez
Freaken Bastard!!
Disgusting
Sent him to jail and let him get
Rape.
Scumbag pig!!!
So because this guy is a pervert we are supposed to charge every person who steals food at a store with a Felony? Wrong.
I am not paying more in taxes to house in jail or prison those who shoplift food.
There may be places where this law needs to be tweaked but the decision of voters to move toward reducing charges and sentences is going on all over the country not just California.
