Mendoza-Benitez Charged With Unthinkable Crime
Police in Denver, Co, say in 2007, a young woman came forward to report that a relative had forced her to have sexual relations a few years earlier when she was 7 years old.
Police say she held the shameful secret for several years but the pain became too much to bare. Police questioned the man, David Mendoza-Benitez, and he denied the charges. But when other relatives came forward with similar allegations, Mendoza-Benitez went on the run.
Along with charges of Aggravated Incest, Mendoza-Benitez is also charged with Making a False Statement in Application for Passport when investigators from Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security Service learned that Mendoza-Benitez applied for a U.S. passport in Aurora, Colorado as Puerto Rican-born Jose Hernaldo Rondon-Vargas.
Thoughts? The above was from AMW's old website. Mendoza-Benitez was a web-exclusive case on the site. As far as I know, he's still at large. If anyone has proof otherwise, please feel free to let us know. The fact that he applied for a passport from there tells me he may have fled to Puerto Rico.
