WESLACO, Texas - They rape granddaughters here.
Cops have again arrested another crazed Rio Grande Valley man who took wanton sexual liberties with a child, this time a 56-year-old man alleged to have had his way with his 14-year-old granddaughter. It is not a pretty picture; it does not speak well of a culture that has sexual needs being fulfilled at home, with family members. This particular case is only the latest in a string of similar crimes perpetrated on the young around here.
It was two days before last Christmas that cops launched an investigation after the granddaughter, now 18, reported the sexual attack. The rape resulted in a pregnancy. A lab examination to determine fatherhood revealed the worst.
"Through the course of the investigation, lab results revealed that he was the biological father of the victim’s child," Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño told The McAllen Monitor.
Sexual assaults within the nuclear family are not that rare in the Valley. News about them sprouts almost as often as do stories of spousal abuse and public drunkenness. In an insular culture such as what is found here, people choose to say little about such attacks. Airing family laundry is considered gauche, something that will only add to the pain and suffering of the victim.

Good story. I read these stories in the paper every so often and wonder about it. Yes, the locals say or do little about it. They just accept it. Sad. Feel sorry for this girl. she was a child!
powerful article. Thanks. We need to shine the light on these criminals. Jail for this idiot! Life and then some more!
Alcatraz, this bastard needs to be incarcerated at Rucker's Cameron County Jail. I know one thing, he would learn the lesson of his life. Viejo P*%*to, you have no shame, and in prison, you will be someone's girlfriend.
Man, what a low lifing sob. This guy deserves to be casterated immidiately.
And the Governor, wants sonograms,otro pendejete.
Just for your info, Korry Marra wrote a rebuttal to the dawgs comments on Jerry's blog. La Borracha.
That incest stuff, is so prevelant in the Valley, a waitress once told me, in the Hispanic Culture you have to watch your relatives, more than the wolves from the outside.
Booze and wreckless parent encourage this kind of behavior, but in the usa, it is jail time, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder how many of these things go unreported, damn, that must be shamefull for the family.
They should identify this barbarian! Put his picture up.
Some unemployed SOB, that drinks cheap beer and abuses his grand-daughters, what I want to know is where were the parents?
Senora, que verguenza que su hija fue abusada.
Jail life is no fun, he will spend many days wishing and hoping, and in Jail, they hate abusers. That he will find out, sooner than he thinks.
where was grandma? Was she silent for all these four years? That's what enables these bozos to do it. they think they'll get away with it.
Grandma, was probably beaten up, and looked the other way, I hold the parents responsible. Y el pinche abuelo, cabron en la carcel vas a pagar lo que iciste.
Mr. Editor, can you believe a Harlingen city commissioner wrote a rebuttal to some guy name Rubio. It is female, you might want to check it out, it is in Mr. Deals blog.
Why was this reported four years later? That might answer many questions.
Grandma probably feared she'd get a beating. You can't tell a Valley man crap. They get angry. Ever see a Macho when he gets angry at the mall or at the movies and his wife is just shaking. I have.
Marra acts like a dope. She should be more ladylike. All that screaming and being silly. She always looks like she's nuts.
If this happened to my daughter and my father did it, I'd kick his ass. No question about it. He'd be on the floor bleeding from the mouth and knowing he'd f#@!cked up. Enough is enough.
You and me, bro. I love my dad, but that would be too much. My love for my daughter is the max!
So, what's become of the child? Is he still with the mom and will he ver know? That's so sad.
Child Protective Services may take it from her. If she is unfit.
Don't know about the sonogram thing. Women shouldn't just accept it. Guys wouldn't stand for the government saying they had to get a colon checkup. That's optional, man!
If he was unidentified...what makes people assume he was Hispanic?
$50 bucks says he is Hispanic. Weslaco is like 99 percent hispanic. But we'll see when he stands trial.
is there anyone in Harlingen than Tony chapa...no!!!!
ooops. I meant "is thre anyone more hated in Harlingen" than Tony Chapa. I can't stand that guy. Big words, small pants that's what he is. wish the Big Dawg would corner that annoying dwarf and write about it.
Tony Chapa the most hated idiot in town, is down to 3 comments in about 20 stories, mostly cut and paste stuff. He can't write, he can't read. He is flunky, only Jake is standing with him. Pobre viejo pendejo. He just doesn't get it, he is finished, even Benton, is writing on Jerry's blog.
Now that you think about it, why did it take so long to report it, dna, did this bastard in. Good
At any rate, he will get his, when he gets to prison, believe me they hate abusers there. Many of those convicts have daughters.
My daughters stay with me and their mom, no one else. Relative or not, they stay with us only.
Some bloggers are asking Toni Chamaneco, what happen to his reader or bloggers, he had 3 comments maybe in almost one week. They have abondoned him, he just doesn't get it, his blog is buried in boothill, under cow chips.
ANONS:...We thought about posting our thoughts here on Commissioner Marra, but decided to expound on it in story form. Our thoughts about her are now on gthe web site, above this story... - Editor
Thank you, Mr. Editor, thank you.
