Santana Batiz Aceves was deported back to his native Mexico twice, once in 1999 and once in 2003, both times he came to the attention of authorities because of drug offenses. He returned illegally both times, the second settling in with his wife in Arizona to start a family while working construction under the name Ricardo Lopez.

In his free time this noble, hard working “undocumented migrant” stalked and raped jr high school students in a series of savage attacks over the course of two years. As the Chandler Rapist Aceves terrorized the working class community that was his stalking ground. From The Arizona Republic:

Police arrested Batiz Aceves on Friday morning and discovered in less than 24 hours from DNA test results that he is a match for a serial rapist who has been stalking and raping young girls in Chandler for nearly two years, police announced Saturday.

Batiz Aceves, 39, originally from a town in Sinaloa, Mexico, began living in the United States illegally in 1988 and lived in Sacramento for nearly 16 years, where he worked for a construction company, computer records show.

“He always took care of his kids, he’s very respectful and he’s a good person,” said Maria Peñuelos, Batiz Aceves’ ex-girlfriend and neighbor. “I just don’t believe it.”

Peñuelos, who knew him as “Ricardo,” said in her year and a half relationship with Batiz Aceves that he took care of her children and drove her daughter to school even after they broke up. He has a 15-year-old daughter who still lives in California and took care of her, she said.

But police confirmed Saturday that Batiz Aceves is facing 25 felony counts, including aggravated assault, kidnapping, child molestation, burglary and sexual abuse of a minor.

Police believe he is an undocumented immigrant who was deported in 1999 and 2003 on drug offenses.

Detectives searched for the Chandler Rapist for more than 18 months after six separate attacks in the city, four of which were rapes, all on young girls.

Authorities said Batiz Aceves worked as a heavy-equipment operator and lived in the area of the sexual assaults for the past 18 months.

It was not immediately known if Batiz Aceves had legal representation yet, but he appeared in khaki pants and a denim-colored button-up shirt before a judge Saturday night and only recited his name as “Ricardo Ramirez López.”

He sat in a jailhouse courtroom with his legs and arms crossed looking down at the floor and wiping away a few tears.

As was pointed out in this post on Dreamin’ Demon his victims of choice were similar to his own daughters and the children he had access to provided by his ex-girlfriend who thought it not odd at all that an ex-boyfriend would linger around her daughter.

Police were reportedly hampered in their investigations by a Spanish language radio station who refused to convey accurate descriptions of the suspect to their listeners, claiming it was racist for the police to describe the Mexican national as Hispanic.

Just doing the job Americans won’t I guess. Speaking of which here’s a short list of “undocumented workers” whose clearly didn’t come here for love of our country and our values:

Manuel Mariche-Raped a bartender in an Atlantic City club while she was in a bathroom, then robbed the register.

Mario Ramirez-Canizales-Jumped the border to avoid Interpol, who are looking for him in relation to a murder in his native El Salvador. He was caught in a traffic stop in a car being driven by another illegal alien with warrants out for his arrest in Omaha, Nebraska.

Luis Misael Castro Valenzuela-Valenzuela video taped himself raping a 7 year old girl in his native Chile before jumping the border, tape in hand. From the Jersey Journal:

A woman he was living with in Union City had contacted the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office when she found the tape. She said she heard a videotape inserted into a VCR, then what sounded like Valenzuela masturbating, and finally the recorded voice of a girl pleading “. stop, it hurts,” officials said.

Handcuffed and his legs shackled, Valenzuela pleaded for mercy, saying he has five children, his parents and wife are ill, and that everyone can make a mistake.

“I know what I did, there is no name for it,” said Valenzuela, who will be deported after serving his time. “I am very repentant. I need this mercy for me, and if your Honor could – free me today.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Matey countered saying there was in fact a word for the crime and it is “horrific.”

Defense attorney John Yauch argued that a portion of Valenzuela’s crime occurred in a different country and should not be considered when calculating his sentence. He asked for a sentence closer to 5 years.

Where’s Pinochet when you need him?

Anyone out there ready for that fence?
