GROESBECK, Texas — A Central Texas woman was recuperating at a Temple hospital after she reported being run off a rural road, kidnapped and then raped and beaten by her abductors, authorities said.
The 18-year-old woman was in stable condition Thursday following surgery. She had walked and crawled a half-mile to find help after her abductors left her for dead along a highway early Wednesday morning, authorities said.
"She spent more than two hours in hell," Limestone County Sheriff Dennis Wilson said.
Wilson said Javier Guzman Martinez, 17, and Noel Darwin Hernandez, 22, both of Mexia, had been arrested for the crime and were charged Thursday with aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping.
The suspects began following the woman late Tuesday night as she left Mexia, about 40 miles east of Waco, where she was visiting friends, authorities said. The suspects did not know the woman.
The woman told investigators she was driving at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday on a state highway toward her home in a Limestone County town when a car rammed her sport utility vehicle and forced her off the road, Wilson said.
The woman told investigators that the men forced her into their car, and then drove around rural county roads while they sexually assaulted, stabbed and beat her, Wilson said.
The woman said the men left her about a mile south of Coolidge in a ditch, where she pretended to be dead until they left, Wilson said. She then found help at a nearby trailer.
Dena Lincoln said the woman, covered in blood, came to her trailer door at about 4:30 a.m.
"I will never, as long as I live, get that look that was on her face out of my mind," Lincoln said. "She kept saying, 'I'm going to die. I'm going to die.' I told her, 'No, honey, you are going to be all right. We are going to get you some help.'"
The woman was flown by helicopter to a Temple hospital with numerous cuts and stab wounds, including an injury that endangered one eye, Wilson said.
Wilson said investigators canvassed the area on Wednesday with the description of the suspects given by the women.
Officers found Martinez at his Mexia residence. Wilson said he confessed to the incident and told officers of Hernandez's involvement. U.S. Marshall's tracked Hernandez to a Waco bus station, where he was arrested Wednesday night.
Martinez was being held in the Limestone County Jail while Hernandez was to be transferred to Limestone County from McLennan County, officials said. Wilson said both men are apparently in the United States illegally and will be held without bond on immigration charges. Hernandez is from Honduras, and Martinez is from Mexico, Wilson said.
They should bring back the death penalty for Rape.
Not because of this case, but because it never should've been knocked down.
I like your plan!
What a sorry bunch of losers we have in Washington DC, who will make every effort to ignore what is happening to US citizens on their watch.
Makes me long for the days of tar and feathers.
First on the list would be Specter, Kennedy and McCain.
I just hope that she suppresses the liberal teachings that were forced into her brain in college enough to listen to my reasons for this gift.
I suggest that after the conclusion of the Second Mexican War we change all the Spanish place names in this country. How do "Saint Frank" and "Angel City" sound to you?
(I'm only half-joking here)
Nail their member and nutsack to a stump with 4 16 penny nails and give them a dull knife. If they want to go home, they will have to use the knive.
I wonder if they are legal residents of the state of Texas.
Just send one good man with the proper training and attitude.
bump
>"Just send one good man with the proper training and attitude."
No , I want the our troops wiping their boots all over Mexican dirt.
I want the elite of Mexico sputtering "But you can't do this!" "You can't do this!".
Yikes, do you know how long it took me to 'translate' some of these names........;o)
Tx wasn't too bad, having lived, yrs. ago in CA........however south Louisiana was summin' else, both accents & spelling......V's are W's & everything that ends in eaux is pronounced O.
and I was also raised by a Brooklynite........;o)
Where the HELL are the 'attempted murder' charges?!?
KWTX identified them as illegals see my post 13.
Illegal aliens do rapes that Americans won't.
As if.
You forgot to mention the knife is VERY rusty and the stump is inside a burning barn.
Too bad Pres. Bush and the amnesty-for-criminals crowd wasn't there to see this poor girl. That may make them at least a little ashamed for inflicting this scourge on the citizens of the US. Talk about dereliction of duty...
I suspected he was heading outta the country.
They've been playing that game for decades. Let them miss one check and it's amazing how quickly they learn English demanding to know where it is.
Unfortunately it will take the gang rape of a senators daughter to change the cold hearts of our leadership.
On the other hand, we are becoming a barbaric country sooner or later we will end up with barbaric leadership which will dole out barbaric justice on these invaders.
