Juan Miguel Medrano is presently arrested and was denied bond. He is being charged with aggravated assault among others.
A judge denied bond Monday for Medrano, who was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child, unlawful restraint and endangerment, and child abandonment.
Medrana smuggled his 14 year old step daughter across the Texas-Mexican border what was to be for the purpose of going to school. Instead he held her captive and sexually abused her.
The girl, who suffered “substantial bodily injury,” told detectives she had moved in with Juan Miguel Medrano about six months ago but had been kept in the trailer, sometimes with her ankle chained, for about the past two months, according to arrest records. She said Medrano sexually abused her and sometimes got her drunk. (The Guardian)

Brian L. Rooney who was arrested due to other unrelated charges of sexual abuse in Vermont remains the primary suspect in the case of murdered Michelle Gardner-Quinn. Rooney has not yet been charged in Michelle’s murder.
There will be a Memorial Service for Michelle Gardner-Quinn scheduled for Sunday Night, October 15, 2006 at The University of Vermont.
It is being reported that Brian Rooney was acting in a depressed manner following Michelle Gardner-Quinn’s disappearance.
Days later, Rooney was seen with cuts on his hands when he stopped at Walt’s Game Room, a candy store and pool parlor in Winooski, where he was a regular customer, owner John Barton said Saturday. It was either Monday or Wednesday, Barton said.
“He looked very down and depressed,” said Barton, who asked Rooney about police activity at the house where he was staying.
“I asked him what the deal was with the FBI and police and everything going around. He said he was the guy who had lent the missing girl his cell phone,” Barton said. “He basically said `I was walking up the street with her and when I got halfway up she went one way and I went the other and I don’t remember anything after that.”‘
Barton said he noticed two or three cuts on Rooney’s right hand but thought they may have been suffered on the job because they were scabbed over.
According to one of his neighbors Rooney was also acting in a strange manner:
A woman who lives upstairs from the Winooski apartment where Rooney was staying said Saturday he came home drunk late Wednesday and told her he did something wrong with “the girl from the college.”
“He came up and he was drunk, crazy,” said Amy Stewart, 25.
“He said he did something wrong with that girl. That’s all I know. I say `Tell me more, tell me what’s going on,’ and he said he not going to tell me anymore,” she said. (FOX News)
