[QUOTE]Juárez officers charged in rape El Paso woman was leaving club

JUAREZ -- Two Juárez city police officers were charged Monday in the sexual assault of an El Paso woman who was attacked early Saturday after she and her husband left a nightclub in the ProNaf, said Claudia Bañuelos, spokeswoman for the Chihuahua state police.
Bañuelos said state police are investigating whether a third officer was involved in the attack as a lookout or in the assault.
"The two police officers who were indicted (Monday) are Gerardo Hinojosa Robledo and Juan Castorena Avila, and are in custody at the Cereso jail," she said. "The case is in the hands of a judge, and it will be up to him whether to allow the officers to bond out."
The U.S. consul's office in Juárez confirmed that the reported victim is a U.S. citizen, who Mexican authorities described as a 24-year-old who lives in El Paso with her husband.
Bañuelos said that according to the police complaint, the woman and her husband exited the Vaqueras and Broncos nightclub on Avenida Abraham Lincoln at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday. Once outside the club, police stopped the husband with a drink in his hand, "because it is a violation to drink in a public place," Bañuelos said.
Bañuelos said the police put the husband inside a police van, and the woman tried to intercede by offering the officers money to let him go. To keep from attracting the attention of onlookers, the police allegedly placed her in another police van and sexually assaulted her there.
The police then allegedly dropped off the woman in the nightclub parking lot and allowed her to rejoin her husband. Later, the two of them returned to Juárez to file a complaint at the Aldama district police station.
"While they were at the station, the woman recognized two of the policemen who walked into the station and identified them as her assailants," Bañuelos said.
Saturday's incident is the second attack against U.S. women reported by Mexican authorities in Chihuahua state in less than two weeks.
Last week, a Chihuahua state policeman was charged in the shooting death of Marie E. Guerra of Deming, N.M. An investigation is under way to determine whether the shooting in Palomas, Chihuahua, was accidental or intentional.[/QUOTE]

Too bad the womans husband didn't have a gun.[/QUOTE] I think guns are technically "illegal" in Mexico, although all the narco's carry them in plain sight.
But I think its better to carry one in plain sight than rely on the police. Those policeman just had bad luck. If they hadn't walked in on the woman 99 chances out of 100 the police department would have thrown the woman's complaint quietly in the round file after she walked out the door.
Me - I think I'll just stay on this side of the Rio Grande.

Unfortunately, we can file this under "dog bites man" as far as the news goes, and yes, it's one of many reasons why I will never travel to Mexico, though as BlueBonnet points out, it's coming here faster than you can say cucaracha.

When police do this sort of thing in any country, they should be assassinated.

Equally appropriate: Do not under any circumstances take your wife to Mexico.

Doesnââ¬â¢t everyone already know this, kind of like saying the sky is blue. Do not under any circumstances go into Mexico. There is nothing in Mexico for a decent person anyway. There are plenty of Bars in America anyway.
