Social Worker and child molester Maricruz Torrez is out of jail and back in your neighborhood.
Apparently Judge Ronald Hansen of Merced County, CA. wasn’t nearly as outraged as the rest of us were about the rapes.
Torrez plead no contest to three felony counts of child molestation and was given a sentence of five years probation, which means she won’t spend any time in prison.
The 34-year-old Merced resident worked for CPS, you know that multi-billion dollar government organization that supposedly exists to protect children and find homes for orphans? When is the last time you actually saw an orphan? Still they find thousands, mostly by taking away kids from poor people and reaping huge bonuses from the Federal Government for adopting them out. Sometimes they are not so lucky though and they get kids that don’t clean up too well and they house them in homes with the others.
Maricruz Torrez took a liking to this one particular 14-year-old. He kept coming up missing and CPS would report it and the police would eventually come across him and bring him back. He was at Maricruz Torrez’s house the entire time. She would have him run away, pick him up, hide him out, and have sex with him. I guess she considered him a “perk” of the job.
Judge Ronald Hansen didn’t seem to care too much and released her at the earliest possible time. He suspended her prison sentence of four years, gave her credit for time served nd sent her back to your community.
Maricruz Torrez was a child care worker at a Delhi facility operated by the nonprofit Creative Alternatives, which operates residential care homes for children and reaps in millions of your tax dollars. Merced County sheriff’s investigators found she had sex with the boy on numerous occasions, both at her home and the facility, between February and April last year.
In reaching his decision, Hansen said Torrez undoubtedly abused her position of trust and authority. Still, he concluded that the risk of Torrez re-offending is low, after reviewing reports from psychologists, the probation department and California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Regardless, Hansen reminded Torrez she’ll be sentenced to prison if she resumes contact with the victim or violates the terms of her probation. She must also register as a convicted sex offender within five days of her release. Before Friday’s hearing, Torrez was facing a maximum sentence of five years, four months in prison.
Deputy District Attorney Misty Compton suggested during her argument the case would be treated differently if the gender roles of the victim and perpetrator were reversed. “If (the suspect) were a 34-year-old male, this wouldn’t be a question of going to prison. It would be a question of how long,” Compton said.
After the hearing, Deputy District Attorney Misty Compton said she was surprised about the outcome, saying prison would have been justified, not only because of the harm done to the victim, but to serve as a deterrent. “Our position is, and remains, that sexual abuse of a minor is a serious offense, especially when the perpetrator was in a position of trust,” Compton said.
Under the terms of her probation, Torrez must wear an ankle bracelet. A hearing was held March 3 to determine how long she would have to wear it, its most likely off by now. Here’s my original story on Maricruz Torrez.
Looks like Judge Ronald Hansen of Merced County, CA. is trying to make Merced the safest place in America to molest a child. He also set Martin Rodriguez Flores free a few days later. Martin Rodriguez Flores, an illegal immigrant of course, pleaded no contest to three felony child molestation charges for sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl.
Judge Ronald Hansen sentenced him to time served and told him to go back to Mexico.
Well merced fathers and mothers, keep the kids in the house. Judge Ronald Hansen is having a busy month setting child molesters free.
