Leroy Gomez guilty of Rape, Robbery and Aggravated Assault
Leroy Gomez
In the courts, a jury unanimously found Leroy Gomez guilty of Rape, Robbery and Aggravated Assault just before three-thirty this afternoon. The conviction on all three charges means Gomez could spend a minimum of ten years in prison, but he will not be sentenced until August thirteenth. While he was accused in several sex crimes in 2008, the current charges are for raping and robbing a twenty-two year old woman and forcing her eighteen year old friend to watch the assault. On August twenty-third, 2008 the two ladies were walking home from a nightclub at around midnight when Gomez held them at knifepoint, led them into an abandoned house and forced himself on the twenty-two year old. He then left the women inside the house and the eighteen year old friend ran to get help. Gomez was identified in an ID parade the following month. In his defense, Gomez claimed he would never rape anybody because he has four sisters and a mother and he wouldn’t want the same to happen to them. Three persons testified on Gomez’ behalf, but could not convince the jurors that he was innocent of the crime. He has several other charges before the court for allegations of other rapes and attempted rape in 2008.
Gomez might also have landed himself another charge because according to the prosecutor, Christelle Wilson, he threatened her as he left the court saying (quote) “Yuh di smile now, yuh beta watch yuh back.” (unquote) An officer at the court also claims he heard the threat and Wilson has indicated that she will file a formal report.
Another case of the “system” failing us — especially the women of Belize. If this predator had been prosecuted with the full force of the law in 2008, how many later victims could have been spared?
WHY WON’T THE POLICE “PROTECT AND SERVE” LIKE THEY ARE SWORN TO DO?
Can we just shoot him? I’ll buy the bullets.
Why was he not prosecuted for the other rapes & since he is stupid enough to threaten the prosecutor, 10 years may be a vacation for this idiot, the rest of his life in jail being treated like the women who did not get the respect his mother & sisters deserves may be too good for him.
Sentencing this animal to jail for only a few years for a string of rape is not enough, it is like a slap on the wrist to me.
Shoot the animal in his head, that is justice to me.
Look at that eveil face!!! this is what i would like to do him, tie him to four posts, hand and feet,
strip him of his clothes, place about 6 pedegree dog food over his ……., and bring two hungry bull dogs to have dinner!! HMMMM this is what I would what to do him, if he goes to jail life will be too good fro him, the more years he get, the better for him.
After the dogs have belly full we shot his … dead.
I just hope he no get less than the 6 years the old man got for stealing the empty bottles….he lucky he no try dat round my areas….he would get flogged like they do in Mexico and lucky if the police arrive early
WE NEED TO GET A FIRING SQUAD FOR THIS PREDATOR!!!! He doesn’t deserve to breathe air much less be in jail. All these bombs do is just prey on the weak & defenseless of society. The less of them, the more happy ppl wiil be.
hope he gets exactly whats coming to him, cause he deserves everything he gets.lol
