Juan Gonzales asks to be deported
Juan Gonzales, an illegal immigrant from Mexico accused of sexually assaulting a child, asked a judge on Monday to deport him.
"If Mr. Gonzales is committed criminally, and for the amount of time that is requested by the state, we're looking at a cost of upward of $3 million," the lawyer said.
However, the district attorney argued that Gonzales is a threat to any society.
Gonzales is accused of grabbing a 6-year-old girl in the playroom of a local gym, holding her against a wall, covering her mouth and using his fingers to penetrate her. Prosecutors said he had three other victims before her, but each time, the case was dismissed because Gonzales was ruled not mentally competent to stand trial.
His lawyer said Gonzales would get mental help in Mexico.
"They're trying to get him set up in a treatment situation in Mexico," the lawyer said. "His family, as I've indicated before, is willing to move to Mexico."
The judge denied the motion, saying he doesn't want to take the chance for the safety of children everywhere.
"He is a serious threat to young children," said Judge Ross Sanchez. "Granting a motion would put other children at risk."
Gonzales will now have a criminal commitment hearing instead of a trial, because of his mental competency issues. If guilty, he would be sent to a mental hospital.
Mentally ill or not, mental hospital or jail, he should do his time on American soil for the justice of his victims.
Ugh, Only deport him if the Mexican government agrees to lock him up when he gets there.
As corrupt as that government is, all his family would have to do is pay someone off and a week later he is back on US soil committing more disgusting crimes.

He should have to serve time in jail and get what's coming to him. Theres no way he doesn't know what he's doing is wrong when been he's been to court for the same thing four times. Who knows how many other times he's done things of that nature and just wasn't caught. He's disgusting.
And put him in the prison general population and let them take care of him--even hardened criminals don't like child molesters!
