June 7 - Three Bend men from Mexico have been arrested on rape and other charges in connection with numerous alleged assaults on a 12-year-old Bend girl. The trio, two of whom are brothers, face likely deportation by federal authorities, police said Monday.
The victim was taken into custody on May 26 as a missing person, according to police Lt. Jim Porter. After an interview with the victim and an initial investigation, it was determined that she had been the victim of numerous and varying sexual assaults, Porter said in a news release.
The same day, Romulo Santos-Elias, 21, was
arrested, and remained in jail Monday, on three counts each of second-degree rape and first-degree sex abuse, jail officials said.
The continuing investigation led to the arrest last Thursday of Gere
mias Jocobo Angeles, 24, on s
econd-degree rape and second-degree sex abuse charges. The third suspect, Bartolo Santos-Elias, was arrested Monday on charges of second-degree rape, first-degree attempted sexual abuse, second-degree sodomy and second-degree unlawful sexual penetration.
Investigators said the three men had established a relationship with the girl when they lived near her. This led to the suspects allowing the victim to visit and often stay at their residences, Porter wrote.
All three of the suspects were from the same town in Mexico, where they had been friends, the lieutenant said.
Bail was set at $50,000 to $150,000 for the three men, but a jail officer said the first two men arrested were being held without bail on a detainer by federal immigration officials,
and a similar hold was expected on the third suspect.
