| Girl, 15, raped on campus |
| Gary Klien Marin Independent Journal |
| A 15-year-old freshman at San Rafael High School was raped on campus after walking to school Monday morning, and a 26-year-old suspect was arrested a short time later when he was seen dragging the girl by her neck, police said. Jorge Alberto Ek-Luna, a San Rafael resident, was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of rape, assault, kidnapping, lewd and lascivious conduct with a 14- or 15-year-old child, damaging a wireless communications device and providing false identification to police. Bail was set at $750,000, and Ek-Luna was expected to appear in court this afternoon. The incident began around 8 a.m., when the girl, a freshman from the Canal Area, was walking to school alone on Third Street. The girl told police she remembered passing Ek-Luna at Third and Union streets on the way to school. As the girl turned on to campus, the suspect approached her from behind in the parking lot, held a broken bottle to her throat and took away her cell phone. Then he forced her into some bushes next to a school building and raped her, police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher said. After the assault, he used the jagged bottle to force the girl off campus, saying he wanted to take her to a motel, Rohrbacher said. But a passing motorist, seeing the attacker dragging the girl by the neck on Francisco Boulevard East, called 911 at 8:43 a.m. Police arrived and found the pair on Francisco Boulevard East near Hoag Avenue. Ek-Luna was arrested and the girl was taken to Marin General Hospital, where she was treated and reunited with her family, Rohrbacher said. The case is still under investigation, but police said the incident appears to be a random attack and that the victim does not know Ek-Luna. "It doesn't look like he was stalking her," said San Rafael police Detective Harry Barbier. "It looks like a crime of opportunity." Although the girl was accosted on Third Street - in view of the parking lot, athletic fields and passing traffic - no one reported seeing the girl being forced into the bushes, Barbier said. Many students were still unaware of the incident by late Monday afternoon, but school principal Judith Colton advised parents in a letter posted on the school Web site and sent out on an email list. The letter will be distributed to students this morning, school district spokeswoman Leah Reich said. Laura Alvarenga, the San Rafael City Schools superintendent, said she did not know whether new security precautions would be implemented, but she said counselors will be available for students who need them. "We believe that this is a very sad incident and most unfortunate, and it was perpetrated by an outsider," Alvarenga said. "We will certainly make available a support system for the students." Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call San Rafael police at 485-3000. Police were still investigating Ek-Luna's background Monday and it was not clear how long he has been in San Rafael or whether he has a criminal record. Police said he is unemployed.

So much for the "hard working" immigrant just trying to better himself theory. |
I think this piece of filth should be delivered to the Mexican Counsul office after her family got a good, solid twenty minutes with the guy. Human rights for illegals are all fine but this young woman has had her life ruined. Where is LULAC, La Raza, and Mecha bitching about her human rights????
Why did they give him bail period.
I wish an alert pedestrian had given him two in the hat.
SAN RAFAEL (BCN)
A man charged with raping a 15-year-old, ninth-grade San Rafael High School girl on Monday did not enter pleas to the charges this morning and will be arraigned on March 1 in Marin County Superior Court, Assistant District Attorney Barry Borden said.
The Marin County Public Defender's office has been appointed to represent 26-year-old Jorge Alberto Ek-Luna. San Rafael police said he recently arrived from Mexico.
Ek-Luna is in the Marin County jail under both an Immigration and Naturalization Service hold and $760,000 bail. He has been charged with rape, assault, kidnapping, committing lewd and lascivious acts with a 14- or 15-year-old girl, damaging a wireless communication device, providing false identification to police and an enhancement alleging he is a sex offender with a prior strike, according to the county jail. He also faces a pending misdemeanor DUI charge.
San Rafael police said Ek-Luna approached the girl from behind around 8 a.m. Monday as she was walking to school alone on Third Street. He allegedly held a broken bottle to her throat, took away her cell phone, forced her into some bushes and raped her, police said.
Police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher said Ek-Luna then forced the girl to go with him, possibly toward a motel, but a passerby called police after he saw an older man dragging a girl with his arm around her neck. Ek-Luna was arrested near a car dealership on Francisco Boulevard and Hoag Avenue.
Woo-hoo! The taxpayers get to pay for his lawyer! Try him, hang him, dump his body at the border.
Legal immigrant?
Or wetback?

I would periodically check the status on this scumbag and I found this:
| Man guilty of rape on campus |

| A 26-year-old man charged with raping a San Rafael High School student who was walking to school was convicted on all counts Thursday. Jorge Ek-Luna was found guilty by a unanimous jury that deliberated one full court day, said prosecutor Leon Kousharian. Ek-Luna faces 25 years to life in prison when he is sentenced Feb. 22 by Judge Terrence Boren. Deputy Public Defender Pedro Oliveras, an attorney for Ek-Luna, said he was disappointed in the verdict because the evidence did not support the rape and kidnapping charges. Ek-Luna did not dispute having sex with the girl, but claimed she voluntarily joined him behind a building, Oliveras said. "We believe the more appropriate charge should've been a sex act with a minor," he said. "He's facing a life sentence now." The incident occurred the morning of Feb. 13, when the girl was a 15-year-old freshman at the high school. The girl, now 16, said she passed Ek-Luna at Third and Union streets while walking to school, and he attacked her as she approached campus. The attacker grabbed her from behind in the school parking lot, held a broken bottle to her throat, took away her cell phone and raped her in nearby bushes, according to police. After the assault, he used the broken bottle to force her off campus, intending to take her to a motel. But a passing driver called 911 after seeing the girl being dragged by the hair in the Canal neighborhood, and Ek-Luna was arrested a short time later. Ek-Luna, a native Salvadoran who has been in the country less than two years, was charged with rape, kidnapping, robbery, dissuading a witness by force, assault with a deadly weapon, lewd and lascivious acts with a 14- or 15-year old child, removing a wireless communication device and giving false identification to police. The girl took the stand against Ek-Luna during the trial. "He told me if I was not quiet, he was going to kill me," she said.

Rapist gets 29 years to life for attack on San Rafael High freshman |

| Jorge Ek-Luna was sentenced on Thursday to 29 years to life in prison for raping a San Rafael High School student while she was walking to school last year. Judge Terrence Boren added four years to the normal 25 years to life sentence for the crime because of an "enhancement" that was included because of a broken bottle the 27-year-old Salvadoran used to threaten the 15-year-old freshman on Feb. 13, 2006. He will be eligible for parole in 21 years, according to authorities. Wearing a yellow jail jumpsuit, Ek-Luna was led into the courtroom handcuffed. He was seated next to his attorney, Deputy Public Defender Pedro Oliveros, and an interpreter, who through a headset translated the proceedings. He followed the hearing closely with an impassive expression even when the sentence was announced. Describing him as a "danger to society," Boren said that what Ek-Luna had done was every "parent's nightmare." Neither the victim nor members of the victim's family were in court Thursday. Oliveros said he heard they had moved away. Boren dismissed defense contentions that Ek-Luna was drunk and did not know what he was doing. He had a previous conviction for driving under the influence. "I agree with (the prosecution) that his behavior shows an incredible presence of mind though he may have been emboldened as some people are" by alcohol, Judge Boren said. When confronted by the police just after the attack "he was able to secrete the bottle in a way that it was not immediately discernible," he said. "And he had the presence of mind to warn the victim not to say anything as the police approached. And he had the presence of mind to keep the cell phone of the victim so she couldn't use it." The girl took the stand against Ek-Luna during the trial. "He told me if I was not quiet he was going to kill me," she testified. Deputy District Attorney Leon Klousharian said that Ek-Luna had shown no remorse and continued to claim the sexual encounter was consensual. On Feb. 13, the girl, now 16, said she passed Ek-Luna at Third and Union streets while walking to school and that he attacked her as she approached the campus. Ek-Luna grabbed her from behind in the school parking lot, held a broken bottle to her throat, took her cell phone and raped her in nearby bushes, according to police. Following the assault, he used the broken bottle to force her off campus and made it clear that he intended to take her to a motel. But a passing driver called 911 after seeing the girl being dragged by the hair in the Canal neighborhood, and Ek-Luna was arrested a short time later. "But for the intervention of the (passing driver) who saw this going on, the defendant would have repeated his sexual assaults on the victim in a hotel," said Boren. Before sentencing, Boren asked Ek-Luna if he wished to address the court. After conferring with Oliveros, he declined. However, as the court was about to adjourn he asked, through Oliveros, if he could now speak. Boren granted the request. "I want to ask forgiveness for everything," he said. "I was wishing for a different kind of hearing." In a rambling minute or two, he said, "what I have done I accept." Something, he said "went wrong. My life story doesn't matter, who I was or who I wasn't. If I did something I must pay. If I am going to pay, I must pay it right." Oliveros said his client was having a tough time with what appeared to be his impending lengthy incarceration. The only time he had smiled during a jail conversation Wednesday evening, said Oliveros, was when Oliveros said that when Ek-Luna was eligible for parole "he would be younger than I am now." Oliveros is 51.
