OMAHA, Neb. -- A 25-year-old man charged with first-degree sexual assault on a 14-year-old girl appeared in court Tuesday with an unexpected advocate: the alleged victim's mother.
Marvin Villareal waived his right to a preliminary hearing and was bound over to District Court. He faces a felony charge for having sex with the teenage girl, but the girl's mother said her daughter was in the wrong. She lied about her age, adding that she told Villareal she was 19. Her mother said it isn't the first time.
"I feel Marvin's in this situation because my daughter manipulated him. She lied to him about her age," said Estela Torres, the victim's mother. "In my heart I think if I wasn't here, I wouldn't be doing the right thing. I love her. She's my daughter. I stand behind her. But I also have to support this young man because what's happened to him is not fair."
Torres said her daughter looks mature for her age, wears makeup, fixes her hair and is well developed. The lie about her age isn't new, Torres said, and her daughter is just now learning there are consequences for that.
"Right now she's on excellent behavior, because I think it's finally hit her there's consequences to the lies she's told and the things she's done, but now is too late," Torres said.
Through an interpreter, Villareal's mother said her son didn't intentionally break the law. Maria Santa-Maria said she feels her son is innocent.
Police learned about the relationship during an immigration enforcement sweep.
If found guilty, Villareal faces up to 50 years in prison.
Normally I would be the 1st one to stand up and say that this man is an airhead and should go to jail for his interaction with this 14yo. However, the mother is coming up and saying that the girl has done this before and her acts were all but intentional - So I am rather hoping this guy gets off.

I dont see how you can hold a guy accountable at all for tagging a girl that looks of age to any reasonable person.
Some of these young 'ladies' doll themselves up to the point they look like strippers at the club. How the hell is a guy supposed to know if the girl isnt truthful?
This is one of the reasons i always say WHOA when people start talking about toughening up rape sentences.
I cant believe the DA hasnt just outright dropped the charges, It's an outrage. Poor bastahd.
Back a few years, a friend's sister was busted dancing at a nudie bar called "Rapture". She had a fake ID, and the county had even given her an occupational licence, a requirement for "dancers" in this area, based on that fake ID. She was 14 at the time...Originally Posted by M21Sniper

He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
I read of a case where a skeptical bar patron actually carded a girl before taking her home and doing the deed. Turns out the ID was fake. He got 10 years.
He committed sexual assault. Bottom line: he shouldn't get off.
I think the girl's felt the consequence of her lies enough.
I've had the "she was only 16" thrown at me after she herself assured me she was 19. No way to tell. No. Way.

The girl has apparently done this before. She will most likely do this again. So if there is some 14yo dolling herself up to look like some 21yo porn star and going out to get it on with every willing male possible, the men should all be held accountable? How so? There has to be some sort of limitation on this or else every willing male in her county will end up in jail.
I dislike the term "sexual assault" in these cases. There was no assault. He did not assault her. He had sex with her. She was willing to the point that she lied about her age. Had he done this knowing she was 14, then yeah, I would see a problem. But she admitted to lying about her age to deceive him. She should be the one with charges against her.

Oh man i SO hope something like this happens to YOU and YOU get 10 years for doing something that you had absolutely 0% reason to think was wrong or illegal.
See how high and mighty you are then....
Never have we been in firmer agreement on an issue.
That's BS. Intent should be part of statutory rape.
