BREWSTER - A 32-year-old Brewster man who police say is in the country illegally from Guatemala faces felony charges after sexually abusing two girls, ages 10 and 11, police said today.


Sergio Antonio Martinez-Garza is being held today at the Putnam County jail in lieu of $100,000 cash bail or $200,000 bond, according to the Putnam County Sheriff's Office.


However, even if he does post bond, he can't be released because federal immigration officials put a detainer warrant on him, ordering the jail to hold him pending possible deportation proceedings, police said.


Martinez-Garza, of 550 N. Main St., touched the girls' private parts at a residence in Brewster, police said.


Sheriff's investigators arrested him Sunday, charging him with two counts of second-degree engaging in the course of sexual conduct against a child, police said. The sheriff's department announced the arrest today.


Martinez-Garza was arraigned Sunday before Village Justice Richard O'Rourke and is due back in court on Sept. 10.


That is the same date that two other village men in the country illegally are due to appear in Village Court to answer statutory rape charges. Police allege that Pedro Sagastume, 21, and Jeremias Perez, 22, had sex with two girls, 13 and 15, in the men's apartment at 167 Main St. The two men have been held on $50,000 bail since their July 15 arrests.


Police said the girls allegedly victimized by Martinez-Garza were not physically injured and were referred to Child Protective Services. Martinez-Garza and the girls knew each other and, police said, the crimes were not random acts.


After the arrest, sheriff's investigators identified Martinez-Garza as Guatemalan allegedly in the country illegally and notified federal immigration officials and the Guatemalan consulate that he is being held at the Putnam jail, police said.

So are you saying that all child molesters are from other countries? We have no bad people who are citizens? Or are you trying to justify your ignorance? 12 million (at least) illegals and you come up with 2 bad guys?

Those sympathetic to illegals will say:
"Ohh, well that's just one isolated case..."

But the cold hard truth is, one out of every 12 illegals caught in the U.S. has a criminal record. Based on estimates of how many illegals are NOT caught, that comes out to 70,000 criminals a year entering our nation illegally.

70,000.
Every year.

As has been cited across many similar topics, this case you list is far from a single isolated occurrence.

Right. I am not going for it either. Put him in general population and let the inmates judge him. In the meantime, deport all illegal aliens forthwith. They are theives, rapist, and are full of disease. It is time for a president to enforce the immigration laws, and I am not talking about the BS that Romney was talking about this morning either.

Good article.

Well, obviously, people who come here to work don't /just/ work. They persue other human activities - eating, drinking, sleeping, etc - and whatever psychological problems they had in thier homeland don't go away, either.

Any child's life will be shattered by this. This will not go away with time. It will stay with them. We simply do not need imported child molesters. He will have a hard time in prison
