Sick Crime Destroys Girl's Childhood
Police say Juan Carlos Mata Espinal, a native of El Salvador, is in big trouble with the law. Cops say DNA tests have identified him as the sick man who intimidated a 12-year-old girl and then raped her in his house in Brentwood, N.Y. Even though police don't have an exact crime date, they say Mata raped this innocent victim several times during the summer of 2005.
Mata was indicted by a Grand Jury on two counts of rape and one count of endangering the welfare of a minor. His arraignment was scheduled for Dec. 21, 2005, but he didn't show up.
Some Clues To Mata
Cops say 28-year-old Juan Carlos Mata may be somewhere in New York, New Jersey or even California. But they are almost sure that wherever he is, he is working. Police say Mata may be making a living as a construction worker at a construction site or doing some landscaping. Mata doesn't speak English and because of his country of origin, people refer to him on the streets as "El Salvadorian."
Thoughts? The above was the old archive description for Mata's case. Mata was aired on the March 25th, 2006 episode of America's Most Wanted. As far as I know, he is still at large as of this posting date (6/16/2015). However, if anyone has any updates/proof-of-updates one way or the other, they are always more than welcome to let us know.
