Wire: Dorchester Illegal Immigrant, 32, Arrested For Raping 13-Year-Old Girl


DORCHESTER, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have arrested a 32-year-old man living in Dorchester on suspicion of raping a 13-year-old girl he met while singing in a local church choir. 

Raymundo M. Cruz — also known as Luis Lopez-Muniz and Raymundo Perez — remains in the Lancaster County Jail on $300,000 bond.  The use of alternative names suggests Cruz is present in the U.S. illegally.

The girl told police she met Cruz about a year ago and the two became friends. 

She says on July 17, he asked to meet her to discuss a mutual friend. The girl says Cruz drove her to a lake near Crete, where he raped her in the backseat of his SUV.

If convicted of first-degree sexual assault of a child, Cruz faces up to life in prison.

*UPDATE*:  Here is more on the story from the Lincoln Journal Star:

Authorities have arrested a 32-year-old Dorchester man on suspicion he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl he met while singing in the choir at Sacred heart Church in Crete. The girl told authorities she met Raymundo M. Cruz, also known as Luis Lopez-Muniz and Raymundo Perez, about a year ago. On July 17, the girl got a message from Cruz asking to meet at a Burger King in Crete and talk about a mutual friend, the affidavit said.

Cruz drove the girl from the Burger King to Bluestem Lake, the affidavit said, and they drank beer together as he drove. The affidavit said the girl told investigators that at the park they both got out of the Ford Expedition, Cruz lowered the back seats, grabbed her around the waist, pushed her into the back of the vehicle and sexually assaulted her.

The affidavit said the next day Cruz told the girl not to tell anyone about what happened because it would ruin his life and hurt his children.  The girl told her parents, who took her to be examined at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center and contacted authorities.  Cruz went by the name Luis Lopez-Muniz for employment purposes because he is undocumented and in the United States illegally, the affidavit says.

  5. I have heard that the county sheriff is indeed planning a crackdown on illegal immigrants in the county sometime in the coming weeks. They are keeping the details secret as plans are being finalized, is what I'm told by a very dependable individual in Wilber. It will be a door to door check I was told.
