WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA – Two illegal migrants who have been arrested for gang-raping a seven-year-old girl should not be spared from the death penalty if convicted, Florida’s Attorney General has declared.
Josue David Mendez-Sales, 26, and Pablo Neftaly Cobon-Mendez, 23, were arrested in West Palm Beach and charged with sexual battery on the seven-year-old child.
Attorney General James Uthmeier stated that he expects the State Attorney for the 15th Judicial Circuit to seek the death penalty for the two suspects, both from Guatemala.
In a post on X, Uthmeier said: ‘These allegations are beyond horrific. Anyone who can commit such heinous crimes must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.’
