Justice has failed-again
The seventeen year old victim found chained to a chair in the upstairs of a bar in Juarez has now changed her story. She originally accused the owner's son of having chained her to the chair so that the sixty year old bar owner could rape her. Now she says that she allowed herself to be chained and in fact was in a sexual relation with said man.
My sources in Juarez say that the young woman's family was threatened by the mafia and that the bar owner is actually involved with a cartel. The court has thrown out the case for lack of evidence and because the police had in fact done a sloppy job of forming the charges against the bar owner. Apparently finding a naked seventeen year old girl chained to a chair with signs of violence, with an initial statement of the old man raped me and his son tied me down so that he could do it is just flimsy evidence at best in Juarez.
What could have been a starting point for a serious investigation of a pair of probable serial rapists and possibly murderers has now turned into yet another travesty of justice.
