Illegal alien sentenced to prison for raping foster mom
Examiner.com ^ | December 2nd, 2010 | Dave Gibson

On Wednesday, Henrico County Judge Daniel T. Balfour sentenced convicted rapist, Arturo F. Lopez, 18, to 50 years in prison, but suspended 20 of those years. Due to the grievous nature of the illegal alien’s crime, Judge Balfour actually went beyond the sentencing guidelines which ranged from nine years and 10 months to 21 years and one month for abduction and rape convictions.

Lopez, who took a bus to Richmond, after entering the country illegally last year, was placed with a foster couple after he was found wandering the streets, homeless.

On April 9, just five days after his 18th birthday, Lopez attacked his 55-year-old foster mom in the living room of the family home, as her husband slept upstairs. He brutalized the woman and raped her at knife point.

The victim was able to escape, by convincing Lopez that she had to get to work. Once out of the house, she immediately called police, along with her pastor.

During Lopez’ trial, Henrico Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Robert M. Wood explained how the woman’s life had been destroyed by the savage attack.

The victim her self, told the jury of her pain, and how she can longer trust anyone, ending her long service as a foster mother, saying: “I don't have it in me emotionally to move over for someone else.”

Why? Were there not any buses that could have taken this (nearly) grown man back to Mexico?

The time for helping non-Americans is over. Let the rest of sub-humanity heal itself or die in the attempt.

He should be sentenced to 50 years at hard labor.

Then deported.

If he makes it.

Dude, you’re a bad guy. I thought Brooke Astor’s son was a bad guy for stealing eight hundred grand from her, but you’re a bad guy.

Per popular demand I've registered at Cabelas but, again, really not necessary.

Lopez.. was placed with a foster couple after he was found wandering the streets, homeless

I wandered the streets, homeless, when I was 17. Instead of a government approved "family" I went to the beach and sold pot to and made friends with Viet Nam military who were on R&R.

There is no way I would take a 17 year old illegal into my home.

There is a reason you don’t take in rabid dogs. There is a reason you shoot them.

Happy 18th, Arturo.

While I wish you had stayed in Mexico and this disgusting crime had never happened, that ship has sailed. There is a silver lining to the story, though.

Like I said, Arturo, happy 18th and now you're being sentenced as an adult. Hope you enjoy your stay in the big house, with the big boys, and I hope they all know what you did to get there. I also hope that, even though you're a big boy now, you still look really pretty.

THIS is what we get for helping these crimaliens...MANY of them ‘children’...like the hitman Mexican teen recently arrested. They are born and bread into violence. And you can expect more with the passage of the ‘dream act’!

WAKE UP AMERICA!
