Paul Martinez

LIMA — The former president of a local Hispanic organization has pleaded guilty to charges that accused him of raping two children.

Paul Martinez, 40, of 404 Orena Ave., pleaded guilty to two counts of rape. The charges accused him of raping two children under the age of 13, Prosecutor Juergen Waldick said.

Martinez will face up to 20 years in prison for the crimes when he is sentenced Feb. 26, but prosecutors have recommended he receive 12 years. The rapes took place in 2005 and 2006, Waldick said.

Martinez was the past president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, the oldest and largest Hispanic organization in the country. He helped start a chapter in Allen County.


There might be a little more to this story than it appears at this moment, as I've been hearing over the last few months rumors surrounding this man. One thing I should note is that the most recent update on my sexual offender list for Allen County dated
10/24 does not list him as a sexual offender, in fact it doesn't list any with tht name as a sexual offender.... which is odd, because in a previous list from June 2005 there IS a Paul Martinez, who at the time was described as being 38, listed there. (**UPDATE- He's on the list again on ESORN, right where he used to be, before he was off the list) This, given some interesting background information I have received in relation to this case, is a tad disturbing to say the least. As I am able to look a little more into this case, be sure to watch out for updates on it.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

Lost Little Girl

It has been 11 years... dare I say hello to old friends?   There's a new crime, a new missing person, a new murdered woman, a new victim. Nothing has changed. All these years and still - its all the same.   Gabby Petito   She's just one of countless pretty white blonde girls that the main stream media has paraded in front of us, capturing our attention as they lay out the plot that will play across our TVs and phone screens as we wait... first for clues as to where she could be, then for the news she was found, we wait for the reports that it was a homicide, detais on her last encounters... we want to know the cause of death. More than that we want to know where her #vanlife sharing and who most of the world believes was her killer, boyfriend Brian Christopher Laundrie is.   How do they pick which missing person will make the best headlines? How do they determine that Gabby will bring more views than Mary Johnson ? or Dulce Maria Alavez ? Why not ...
