Thank God for these brave officers.
Victim’s Relief and Suspect’s Charges
The bodycam footage vividly captured the victim’s terror and subsequent relief. As deputies arrived on the scene, they were met with her desperate cries for help. The woman’s anguish was palpable as she exclaimed, “He’s trying to rape me!” The officers’ swift response brought immediate comfort to the victim, who expressed her gratitude amid the chaos.
“Thank God, thank God. He tried to rape me,” the woman is heard saying.
Hernandez-Moncayo now faces serious charges, including attempted sexual battery, battery by strangulation, and false imprisonment. The gravity of these charges underscores the potential consequences of the thwarted attack. Adding another layer to this already complex situation, it was revealed that Hernandez-Moncayo had applied for asylum in the United States just one day prior to his arrest.
This incident has inevitably reignited the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies and their impact on public safety. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed a detainer on Hernandez-Moncayo, who remains in custody. This case highlights the intricate challenges faced by law enforcement and policymakers in addressing crime while navigating the complexities of immigration issues.
Sheriff Mike Chitwood commended both the deputies for their swift action and the victim for her quick thinking in this dire situation.
Any word from Kamala Harris on this? She is our Border Czar, after all.
