Mexican Sergio Jose Martinez, who was deported from the US more than 10 times, was sentenced in Oregon to 35 years of imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to sodomy, kidnapping and sexual abuse of two women.

Martinez told the relatives of his victims that he “will meet with them in hell,” writes The New York Post.

A week before the first attack, Martinez was released from prison in Portland, where he served a sentence for misleading law enforcement officers and providing a false date of birth in documents.

He was released, despite the request of the Customs and Immigration Control Service to detain him and hand them over to officers for further deportation.

Oregon was the first sanctuary state in the United States - in 1987, it passed a law prohibiting law enforcement from detaining people simply because they entered the country illegally, and prohibiting them from holding them in prison after completing a court-imposed sentence if requested to do so. immigration authorities.

Sheriff Michael Reese said that he could not continue to hold Martinez at the request of ICE, because he did not have legal grounds for this. In order to be able to delay him longer, the immigration service had to provide a warrant of arrest issued in court.

“He was released in accordance with the court's decision. There were no federal or state arrest warrants issued in his name at the time he left the jail,” the sheriff explained.

Martinez attacked two women in Portland on July 24, one victim in her home and the other in a parking lot.

At trial, two relatives of one of the victims spoke out against the prosecution, the second woman was personally present at the meeting.

As part of a deal with the prosecution, Martinez pleaded guilty to more than 10 crimes, including first degree burglary, sodomy, sexual abuse, kidnapping, robbery and second degree assault, which allowed him to obtain the minimum time allowed for such crimes.

He was sentenced to 35 years in prison; by the time he was released, the man would be 66 years old. ICE said that after his release, immigration officers would arrest Martinez and deport him.

He is not eligible for parole due to the Oregon law of 1994 of the year, which provides that the offender must serve the minimum sentence for the crimes he committed without the right to parole.

Lawyer Martinez Jonathan Sarre said his client “suffers from some mental illness; often such people can do unacceptable things in some situations. ” In this case, the doctors found that the man is adequate enough to answer for the crimes committed before the law.
