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.
He's right. US Citizens have no rights, only privileges.
Illegals STILL have rights and are protected by law precisely because they are NOT 'citizens'.

"... the term `citizen' in the United States, is analogous to the term `subject' in the common law; the change of phrase has resulted from the change in government."
The US Supreme Court in Logan v. US, 12 SCt 617, 626:
"In Baldwin v. Franks ... it was decided that the word `citizen' .... was used in its political sense, and not as synonymous with `resident', `inhabitant', or `person' ..."

Anyone born outside Washington D.C. are supposed to be State Citizens, NOT 'US Citizens'.

"The term resident and citizen of the United States is distinguished from a Citizen of one of the several states, in that the former is a special class of citizen created by Congress."

The original intent of the phrase 'citizen of the United States':
http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/a1_8_17s22.html
§ 1218. The inhabitants enjoy all their civil, religious, and political rights. They live substantially under the same laws, as at the time of the cession, such changes only having been made, as have been devised, and sought by themselves. They are not indeed citizens of any state, entitled to the privileges of such; but they are citizens of the United States. They have no immediate representatives in congress.
I'll donate the nails.
Anyone born outside
Exactly. They beat and stabbed her and left her for dead in a bar ditch only after she played dead. If that's not attempted murder, I don't know what is. Don't tell me they've already pleaded the charges down.
Nice idea, but I don't think such an institution exists in this country. They might even run accross some homey's and be hailed as heros for getting some gringo...
They beat and stabbed this poor girl, and left her for dead.
Only aggravated assault? Lord, help us...

Rapists don't do well in prison. Without a gang to protect them they will serve...
?!
A tip from a Mexia resident led authorities to the two men who were charged with aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping Thursday.
Javier Guzman Martinez, 17, of Mexico was arrested in Limestone County and Noel Darwin Hernandez of Honduras was arrested at a bus station in Waco as he tried to leave the country, Wilson said.
Let's hope that is all of them.
Many other rapists have escaped by running across the border.
". . . family oriented, hard-working people coming here for a better life . . ."
Presidente Bush can spin it as he likes, but I'm not buying the notion that importing millions of Hispanics is good for this country. The Hispanic uptick in crime in my area also cannot be ignored. I'll pay extra for lettuce, thank you.
First off, they saw her at a local video store and followed her. She gave a description but one of the suspects told someone a few details and that person called in the tips with his name to the local police dept. . When that suspect got questioned, he confessed and he ratted out his accomplice. Mexia and the surrounding areas are small towns where word travels fast. Whomever he told the few details to, well it wasn't hard to figure out what crime he had committed.
How soon before the idiot democrats "forgive" this "undocumented" monster? Will they have candle light vigils for him? Bet on it.
Eaux my!
Why can't we put illegals like this into holding cells until we can fill up a cargo plane with them? Send the planes out over the jungles well south of the US, and parachute drop the illegal baggage back home.
Forcible rape, when followed by murder or attempted murder, should be punished by pain. That or my favorite historical punishment -- removal of all human rights. That means that if the family or even strangers want to lock them in the basement and torture them for years, they have no more rights than a rock and nobody will do anything about it.
And the border remains open.
I'll vote in 2006. But not for anyone who doesn't support sealing the borders.
Bump!
