EASTON, PA | A 33-year-old Easton man, (illegal alien) accused of raping an 8-year-old girl last April, waived all charges to court Thursday with the understanding he will plead guilty to two offenses and have the MORE SERIOUS CHARGES WITHDRAWN.

Francisco Rodriguez of the 100 block of North Second Street is charged with rape, statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault and endangering the welfare of children.

Rodriguez, clad in an orange jumpsuit and flanked by his attorney, David Vaida, and a translator Thursday, agreed to waive his preliminary hearing. Assistant District Attorney Pat Broscius said he will plead guilty to aggravated indecent assault and statutory sexual assault. All other charges will be withdrawn, Broscius said.

Police said Rodriguez, an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, was alone with the girl on April 4, 2005. The girl's mother told police she found Rodriguez in a bedroom wearing only his underwear. The girl's clothing was on the bedroom floor, according to court documents.

Rodriguez allegedly refused to allow the mother into the closet area where the child's bedroom was located. The girl told her mother Rodriguez had touched her genitals and had sex with her, according to court papers.

Police said Rodriguez fled to Newark and was returned to the county for a bench warrant hearing in mid-February.

It's cases like this why I could never be a police officer, guys like this would be very messed up by the time they got to the station.

This guy is an illegal f'ing alien damnit! he deserves NO f'ing special treatment. He deserves to be executed for what he did.

You're right. He doesn't deserve special treatment, like a plea deal.

Question: when did the concept of a "plea deal" enter the American consciousness?
The very name offends me. This is hard not to react to in certain cases.

Good question!

It amazes me that some people here are more angry that this is an illegal alien than they are that he RAPED A LITTLE GIRL. The disgrace here has very little to do with his immigration status and everything to do with excusing child rape. I would be perfectly fine with the plea deal, as long as the sentence is a bullet to this a**hole's head.

The next questions are:

WHY did the mother left her 8 year old daughter alone with this scumbag in the first place?

AND

WHY was this monster still sucking air 5 minutes after she found out what he'd done to her child?
