Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho on Friday denied the defense\u2019s motion to modify the $50,000 cash bail imposed on Manases Masga Manglona Sr., a 63-year-old retiree facing charges that he sexually abused a 12-year-old girl on several occasions on Rota. <\/p>\n
Camacho found Roman Mendiola Calvo not suitable to serve as a co-third party custodian for Manglona as he has four previous criminal cases for assault and assault and battery.<\/p>\n
Assistant attorney general Chester Hinds appeared for the government. Chief Public Defender Douglas Hartig served as counsel for Manglona.<\/p>\n
Camacho ordered the parties to appear at the arraignment on Sept. 26 at 9am.<\/p>\n
Last Tuesday, the judge found probable cause to believe that the crimes of two counts of sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree and one count of disturbing the peace were committed and that Manglona may have committed such offenses.<\/p>\n
The judge dismissed the charge of assault and battery. He said assault and battery is a lesser included offense of sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree. <\/p>\n
It means that it is not necessary to charge assault and battery, as such offense is already included in the sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree charge.<\/p>\n
Rota Police Detective Shaw Clay DLC. Taisacan stated in his report that Department of Public Safety Central received a call last Sept. 6 from a principal of a school on Rota about a sexual abuse of a minor case.<\/p>\n
Taisacan said investigation showed that the girl confessed to a teacher that Manglona has been sexually abusing her and that she wants it to stop. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
