While I feel bad that this girl was raped and stabbed, why did she get in the car of a complete stranger? By doing this, she put herself in harm's way. At 17 she is old enough to know better. Mark As Violation

Even though she should have known better... she's still the victim and he's scum of the earth. Mark As Violation

Guilty until proven innocent is unpatriotic. Mark As Violation

I am thankful to the Sheriff that noticed the guy, but where were the Hemet police regarding this Hemet man with all the previous charges against him? Did they investigate this guy or consider him? Mark As Violation
