A 14 year old girl was allegedly brutally raped in a boys’ bathroom at Rockville High School by two illegal aliens, 18 and 17 years old. This comes at a time when Rockville, Maryland was considering becoming a sanctuary city. The Superintendent of Montgomery County Schools, Jack Smith, seems a lot more concerned about protecting illegal aliens than he does about protecting his female students from rape.
The two suspects, Henry Sanchez-Milian, 18, and Jose O. Montano, 17, who was charged as an adult, are being held without bail. Montgomery Schools Superintendent Jack Smith told reporters that both suspects had been in a special program for non-English speakers at the high school and not in classes with the victim.
Smith pushed back hard against questions about whether the rape case should affect local efforts to comply with federal law, which guarantees a free public education to any child living in the United States, regardless of citizenship status.
“It’s totally inappropriate to suggest that we’re going to deny a 14-year-old, a 16-year-old, an 18-year-old an education because of a horrible thing that happened in our schools last Thursday,” Smith said. “Some have tried to make this into a question and issue of immigration . . . but we serve every student who walks through our doors.”
Go here to read the rest. The attitude of Smith is unsurprising. Here is a missive he wrote after the election last year:
I am writing to share with you how Montgomery County Public Schools is assisting our staff and students in processing the outcome of Tuesday’s presidential election. This election season has been particularly difficult. It caused a great deal of emotion among many members of our community. We want to take this opportunity to reiterate the values that are foundational to this school system.
Now that the election is over, it is our job to restate our core values as a school system—demonstrating that we respect and care for every person in our community. First and foremost, we must reassure our staff and students that our school buildings are safe places where we truly value and respect every single individual and do not tolerate bullying or hate speech. The diversity of our community and the many cultures, languages, and religions that make up our school system continues to be our greatest strength. We are better when we all work together, learn together, and listen to each other.
We must have open and respectful conversations about the lessons of living in a democracy. That is our commitment as educators, and on this day honoring our veterans, we will help students move forward in understanding our democracy and how our nation works and endures. We will teach our students the important principles that are the foundation of our nation and we will do all we can to continue to foster a culture of understanding and respect for everyone.
Our schools are a resource for families as well. Counselors are available to help students process any concerns or feelings they have about the election. Curricular resources have been provided to assist teachers in discussing the election. We will continue to draw on the expertise of the Equity Initiatives Unit to help forge stronger understanding of the many perspectives in our community, state and nation.
Ultimately, we must reinforce at every opportunity that our schools are safe places where students learn and where we all work together to build a community that values and respects every person.
His statement about the schools being safe places seems bleakly funny now. People like Smith would much rather see our daughters raped and murdered than see the immigration laws of our nation enforced.
Are you crazy, protect the rapist, next you blame the victim! No, this was an illegal alien grown man who with the help of another illegal alien 17 year old, orally, anally and vaginally raped a child. No there is place for them in this country. The only reason to keep them here is for life in prison!
My prayers are with the fourteen year old this morning. May she find a sanctuary that will help her heal emotionally and physically.
Illegal immigrants who are learning English and committing crimes such as rape….read and understand this word punks; Incarceration! Deportation will only work if they are incarcerated when they return to their homeland.
Liberal Maryland will probably give them four weeks of sensitivity training, box of condoms from local planned parenthood and a fake voters ID.
Possibility of life in prison;

The slack jawed Obama administration should be reminded of the role they played in this horrible act of violence.
Once again, liberals don’t give a fig for the very groups they claim to represent. They stand for no higher value other than the acquisition of power. In the end, they just don’t care about that 14 year old girl. Now, let some privileged white male students do such a thing, and liberal outrage will pour forth.
Life inprisonment, AC? Nah, I see a tree with some strange fruit hanging from it!
And the sound of crickets from the National Organization for Women.
Well, I had to dig to find this story. There was one story about a 14 year old being shot that came up first. I thought that was the story here. It took a few to find this one, and reports of it that weren’t coming from more conservative outlets. And then it was the WP of all places.
About 1960, Martin Meyer published “The Schools,” on elf his books about the professions. Tio show that nothing has changed, I quote something he wrote. Public school administration is a form of appointive politics. “ No institution is more political in the broad sense than the public schools, a fact to which people seem oblivious. I had an-mail exchange with a school board member, from another district. I had pointe out that a school district is a government agency. She demurred. Not us, she said. Did she think that she was not as much as elected official as her state representative? Did she and her colleagues not set policy? No ones so blind as he who will not see. IAC, the Superintendent ought too resign and if he will not than he should be fired. This is the downside of the large salaries and generous perks awarded by the school district.
I state my credentials because context for my comments is necessary.
I am an attorney and have been in the immigration Civil Service for more than twenty years. What I am writing are my own perceptions and views and do not, in any way, represent the views of my agency. They are not based upon any information not publicly available.
This is a disturbing case for a number of reasons:
1) I note that the sine qua non of education has switched from “that which is good for students” (plural) to “that which is good for the student” (singular). When I was in elementary school, that which was disruptive to the many was removed and that which affected the individual was tolerated. I was bullied. Some was earned and some was not but it was clear that the many were the concern, not the one. Now, the opposite is true.
Here, we have 17 and 18 year old “freshmen” in class with 14 year old children. Note that I am not saying “what did they expect would happen” because normal 17 and 18 year old humans do not sodomize 14 year old children. I am pointing to the reality that the school felt that it had an obligation to the 17 and 18 year olds that was more serious and significant than their obligation to the student body as a whole. “We have to help THAT person” is the touchstone, not “how do we deliver the best education possible, for the greatest percentage of our students?”
I am not saying that the other was better. As noted above, I was bullied and bullying is most unpleasant. What I AM saying is that public education cannot be so individualized that no holistic analysis of what is good and useful is done. This leads to my second point that these “unaccompanied minors” should never have been in that school at all.
2) Central America has imploded. That is the reality that the media chooses not to cover. The children FROM Central America and Venezuela are in a position not dissimilar to the child soldiers of Africa: they have witnessed and, in many cases, directly experienced real horror.
I dealt with a child soldier case back in the mid-1990s in which the man had been kidnapped and used as a sex slave when he was seven. By age eleven, he was gleefully chopping off the hands of babies and toddlers. He had been so seriously warped by his experiences that I suggest he was barely human anymore.
What, exactly, does one do with such a one?
His Holiness talks about charity in the context of immigration, and so he should, but these rapists illustrate a certain reality of immigration and that is that some people are so seriously damaged that they will never be safe to be around.
I do not know these boys’ histories. My guess is that, if one looks at them, they have no small experience with sexual abuse and that this is not the first sexual assault they have participated in. We DO know that sexual assault is frighteningly common in Central America and that a very large percentage of young people have been raped and have raped.
One case I dealt with a few years ago was of a young woman whose mother put her on the pill in her home country, before entrusting her to the care of smugglers THAT SHE KNEW WOULD BE RAPING HER. Her mother expressly told her to go with it, lest she be hurt, and, so, she was raped many times by the smugglers, people smuggled with her, and even authorities in Central America and Mexico… All so that she could come to the US as an “unaccompanied minor.”
This brings me to my third point: The Obama Administration owns this problem, lock, stock, and barrel.
3) The Obama Administration openly encouraged unaccompanied minors to come to the US. By using US tax dollars to complete the smuggling from the border to relatives in the interior of the US, the message got out that IF one got one’s kids to the US, the US would take care of them. This encouraged folks to send their kids to the US, despite all of those risks and, in some cases, BECAUSE of all of those risks.
We talk about “vetting” of refugees and it is wise to do so but the vetting of these unaccompanied minors was nearly nothing. They show up at the border with no documents. An inspector or Border Patrol Officer interviews them and fingerprints them. If the fingerprints come back negative… Which they should if they person hasn’t been here before, and the CLAIM to be under 21, they were either permitted to go to their intended destination, were taken to a detention center (this is for the clearly too young to be let go), or taken to their intended destination.
Stated differently, if you got to the US, claimed to be under 21, and had no prior US arrests, we let you settle here… Ostensibly awaiting an immigration hearing that would be no less than three years in the future IF you showed for that hearing at all.
This leads to my last point: Having admitted “adults,” for, let us be hones, the boys in this horror are not “kids,” the school should have segregated them from the others. It was fundamentally unwise to let the boys wander about, unnoticed.
The range of assaults here is staggering. I have no idea how long sexual assault takes but it cannot have been a quick crime for them to have done all that was reportedly done to her… And, no one noticed.
Thanks for your patience here but this is a case that I find remarkably disturbing and it is cathartic to say what I think about it.
I doubt there’s any federal statute which does or could compel states to enroll illegal aliens. They’re confusing federal law with arbitrary exercises of judicial wilfullness.
People like Smith would much rather see our daughters raped and murdered than see the immigration laws of our nation enforced.
Ignoring violent crime does not disrupt the Democratic Party’s vote farming operation. Enforcing the immigration laws does.
Superintendent Smith’s “Equity Initiatives Unit” ? It’s going to make that young victim whole again? Prevent another crime? Liberal Lala Land. What if the victim had herself been an illegal? It probably wouldn’t have been reported. When an underclass like illegals is created all sorts of crimes by illegals upon illegals the cl are not reported or under reported for the obvious reason.
The (open-borders, bring-in millions of Muslims) establishment and elites don’t care about ordinary Americans. The agenda (fundamentally transform/wreck evil, racist Americans in fly-over country and reduce labor costs) is all and all.
This woman’s poor daughter was expendable. She was not even “collateral damage.”
This is one of the many ticking time bombs Obama left behind.
In addition to hundreds of unnecessary (they should not be here) murders and rapes, Obama overloaded, and will bankrupt, many states’ social programs with tens of millions of illegal immigrants.
That is, of course, correct, T. Shaw: an 18 year old, who cannot read or write in their own language, who has no skills, and has an horrific life history, cannot be other than a burden on the State.
One of the things I have noticed about the Left is that they are ALL about institutional change for things like race and sex discrimination but then refuse to even look at institutional matters when the issue does not fit the narrative. What I mean is that we hear “you may not have MEANT to discriminate but that is the effect so you must institute dubious, expensive, and potentially disastrous institutional changes to fix it” but “why would we bring adults here as though they were children and then put them in proximity to our children, without vetting them” is racist and xenophobic.
Just another reminder that the bottom line of multiculturalism is that it is a man’s world. And a particularly unpleasant man at that.
Mr. Spalding, We can take off the gloves and appropriately act given the nature of the war. It is a war for America, for our children, for our liberties , for our way of life. These evil people hate you and me. They hate America and the uses Americans we make of our liberties. Ergo., when you defend America you are a “racist,” a “xenophobe,” “etc.”
Obama misspent eight years wrecking America and our way of life. Hillary would have finished us off.
Therefore, I am blessed when evil people falsely call me “racist,” “xenophobe,” and sorts of evil things for so did evil men persecute the Jesus and the prophets before me.
Thanks David Spaulding for sharing your expertise and inside insight on this matter. Your views on the hell many of these illegals come from is sobering. It’s almost impossible for US to imagine what it would be like to suffer their plight. To be brought up in a slave mentality and only knowing oppression and hate.
I am not defending the punks nor their actions. I’m perplexed at a humanitarian answer in this fubar.
Rehabilitation centers?
In this climate can we be our brothers keeper, especially if they resemble the persecuted and perpetrator at the same time?
The lib elite narrative is everything. Anything that belies the agenda is censored, distorted, explained away, whatever. Compare and contrast any gun violence incident – every American gun owner is guilty – with any illegal invader atrocity or Muslim massacre.
The point is that the authorities treat this epidemic of hatred and violence as “Nothing to see here, keep moving.” And, that President Trump and 63 million voters are “uncharitable” for wanting to reverse that perversion.
In the less-enlightened era, the authorities’ motivations were protecting the innocent by punishing the predators. In these “enlightened” times, it’s “She was expendable.” In the unenlightened, bad old-days, rapists were hanged.
Recently, Suffolk County, NY police arrested a dozen illegals, members of MS-13, for brutally (baseball bats/machetes) murdering two young American women. My sister works with one victim’s mother. And, we hear “crickets” from the dums and media. It would be 24/7 anti-gun outrage if a deranged white had gunned down the poor women.
It ought to have been Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi who got raped and Obama who got sodomized and orally violated. Life in prison means two months after an appeal. Castrate the rapists with a dull, rusty knife and shorten his member so that every time he pees he is reminded that violating people is a crime. Our American Liberty is predicated on the LAW.
Illegal immigrants are invaders. Never invited and never welcomed. Outlaws are criminals and wars are started by outlaws. This is not CHARITY. This is insanity Let us put Obama and Hillary Clinton in prison for this violation of personal sexual integrity and privacy.
the green light for the rapist is Obama’s bathroom bill. Clinton and Obama enabled this violation of the sovereign personhood of a minor child, our constitutional Posterity. Exile the enablers, then the criminals will stop coming.
Mary De Voe.
Need I be reminded of my like for you?
Never!
Your on target!
Again.
“It ought to have been Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi who got raped and Obama who got sodomized and orally violated. Life in prison means two months after an appeal. Castrate the rapists with a dull, rusty knife and shorten his member so that every time he pees he is reminded that violating people is a crime.”
That is quite enough, far more than enough actually, of that.
In Mary’s defense, not that she needs me to defend her, unless you’ve been raped yourself, or know someone who has, the response to the outrageous act on the fourteen year old is understandable.
I do know someone, and her ability to move forward and forgive her assailant is saintly to say the least.
2) Central America has imploded. That is the reality that the media chooses not to cover. The children FROM Central America and Venezuela are in a position not dissimilar to the child soldiers of Africa: they have witnessed and, in many cases, directly experienced real horror.
What are you talking about? There were 3 wretched insurgencies which went on over the years running from 1960 to 1996. One was largely suppressed by the end of 1984 and formally settled 12 years later. The other two were settled via armistices in 1990 and 1992, respectively. Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras have an exceptional problem with street crime. Guatemala and El Salvador are more tranquil in this respect than was the case 20 years ago. Honduras is suffering, but 80% of Central Americans live elsewhere.
The Superintendent of Schools statement was pure garbage but not unexpected. Rockville is the county seat of affluent Montgomery County. Many years ago they used to elect a Republican Congresswoman, albeit not a conservative, but not the crazy liberals that now occupy many seats of the state govt. and represent MD on the federal level. Montgomery County was the forerunner in proposing self identifying transgenders use bathrooms in public schools, parks and other county buildings. Nancy Pelosi is a product of Bal’more politics. Thank God (and that’s a prayer) that the self styled “new JFK” Martin O’Malley didn’t get either the #1 or #2 Dem nominee slot in the last election. A Caucasian Obama in Irish Catholic sheep’s clothing.
Hopefully there is some good resulting from the heinous crime IF school policies are changed and the wacky, liberal pols are voted out.
Let’s turn our anger into prayers for the young girl and her family.
Thank you Donald McClarey. Caution noted. Thank you Philip: The rapists would have killed her if she had fought back. The victim’s innocence and virginity are not precluded by rape..
Thank God (and that’s a prayer) that the self styled “new JFK” Martin O’Malley didn’t get either the #1 or #2 Dem nominee slot in the last election. A Caucasian Obama in Irish Catholic sheep’s clothing.
Dr. Zummo will have to weigh in on this. As far as I could ever see, Martin O’Malley is a standard-issue Democratic pol, careerist type. In fairness to O’Malley, he practiced law for 3x as long as BO did and tried his hand at executive positions ‘ere running for President. Trouble is, when you’re Mayor of Baltimore, you have one job: cut crime. He pretty much failed. Didn’t hurt his career, though.
The destruction of the girls psyche, her haunting memories are scars slow in healing. If it was your daughter…well, God only knows what retribution you would like to wield on the men. Forgiveness is not easy. It’s a life’s work. Tomorrow I’ll beg our Lady for special graces to enfold the child and her parents. As for the rapists, God’s mercy and as He see’s fit.
Our Lady of the Annunciation help us.
“A lawyer for Sanchez said his client is innocent, and sex with the 14-year-old girl was consensual.”
The 14-year-old victim was not an emancipated person when the crime was committed against her. Therefore, the victim did not have informed sexual consent to give. Had the victim agreed to have sex with the adult males, it is incumbent upon the adult males to refuse. If the judge hearing the case decides that the victim had the maturity of informed sexual consent to give, enough to be emancipated, without being able to vote, to serve on a jury, to serve in the Armed Forces, to drive, it is after the fact of the crime and inadmissible. The crime against her was committed while she was a minor child.
Some judges emancipate minor children when they become pregnant to enable an abortion with school counselors and without parental consent. Another miscarriage of Justice, especially since the unborn sovereign person, our Constitutional Posterity, protected under our Preamble, is now a ward of the court.
“Sean Spicer said, “Part of the reason that the president has made illegal immigration and crackdown such a big deal is because of tragedies like this.”
This is not a tragedy. This is a crime, a violation of a human being, assault and battery of an American citizen. Earthquakes, floods and hurricanes may become tragedies.
Sanctuaries are holy places. Sanctuary cities must be holy places. The taxpayers are being swindled.
Philip Nachazel: Thank you again Philip. I am listening to an audio book of Anne Catherine Emmerich :The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord, Jesus Christ May I recommend the book?
Self-Defense For All 12-Year-Old Girls! I was a victim/survivor of a sexual assault that happened when I was 15 years old. I was modestly dressed, on the campus of a Christian university for a school program, and was doing nothing wrong. I was alone in a girls’ only dorm. I was in the wrong place and at the wrong time and there was an opportunity for an attacker, and he took it. I later took self-defense in college. It helped, but it was really too late for me. We need to teach our girls anti-rape strategies along with how to use a maxi pad and how to wear a training bra. It’s sad, but it’s true. Please, if you have daughters, help your girls to help themselves.
Mary De Voe.
Thanks, and yes…One of Mel Gibson’s resources in the making of The Passion of the Christ. My parents bought five copies for each of their sons. I read it then and gave my copy to an individual, and now it’s part of providence vacuum…the unknown but hopefully in the right hands.
I will search out another copy at our extensive lending library at Church.
It’s been eleven years since I’ve read it.
I recall being stirred in the soul as events unfolded. The Poem of the God Man by Maria Valtorta’s, eight volumes I believe, was another moving piece that left you wanting more. A friend loaned a couple of her books to me and yes, she did get them back.
I will search out St. Emmerich’s book this week.
@Emily
God bless you. Self defense at twelve years old. If it helps one girl it is worth it. If it causes more pain because the attacker is much stronger and now somewhat hurt, then I feel worse for the child, however at least the child had a fighting chance at escape.
Peace to you and your loved ones.
Thanks for sharing.
