GROESBECK, Texas — A Central Texas woman was recuperating at a Temple hospital after she reported being run off a rural road, kidnapped and then raped and beaten by her abductors, authorities said.
The 18-year-old woman was in stable condition Thursday following surgery. She had walked and crawled a half-mile to find help after her abductors left her for dead along a highway early Wednesday morning, authorities said.
"She spent more than two hours in hell," Limestone County Sheriff Dennis Wilson said.
Wilson said Javier Guzman Martinez, 17, and Noel Darwin Hernandez, 22, both of Mexia, had been arrested for the crime and were charged Thursday with aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping.
The suspects began following the woman late Tuesday night as she left Mexia, about 40 miles east of Waco, where she was visiting friends, authorities said. The suspects did not know the woman.
The woman told investigators she was driving at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday on a state highway toward her home in a Limestone County town when a car rammed her sport utility vehicle and forced her off the road, Wilson said.
The woman told investigators that the men forced her into their car, and then drove around rural county roads while they sexually assaulted, stabbed and beat her, Wilson said.
The woman said the men left her about a mile south of Coolidge in a ditch, where she pretended to be dead until they left, Wilson said. She then found help at a nearby trailer.
Dena Lincoln said the woman, covered in blood, came to her trailer door at about 4:30 a.m.
"I will never, as long as I live, get that look that was on her face out of my mind," Lincoln said. "She kept saying, 'I'm going to die. I'm going to die.' I told her, 'No, honey, you are going to be all right. We are going to get you some help.'"
The woman was flown by helicopter to a Temple hospital with numerous cuts and stab wounds, including an injury that endangered one eye, Wilson said.
Wilson said investigators canvassed the area on Wednesday with the description of the suspects given by the women.
Officers found Martinez at his Mexia residence. Wilson said he confessed to the incident and told officers of Hernandez's involvement. U.S. Marshall's tracked Hernandez to a Waco bus station, where he was arrested Wednesday night.
Martinez was being held in the Limestone County Jail while Hernandez was to be transferred to Limestone County from McLennan County, officials said. Wilson said both men are apparently in the United States illegally and will be held without bond on immigration charges. Hernandez is from Honduras, and Martinez is from Mexico, Wilson said.
"I will never, as long as I live, get that look that was on her face out of my mind," Lincoln said. "She kept saying, 'I'm going to die. I'm going to die.' I told her, 'No, honey, you are going to be all right. We are going to get you some help.'"
After such a horrible ordeal, it is fortunate that this young lady encountered a good Samaritan. As for the perps, I hope they get some of their own medicine in jail.
Throw them in a US prison with no Hispanic prisoners and let everyone know what they did.....
Slime.Put them away for a verrry long time.
Put them away? Heck, they should be hung.
It's time for the Vigilance Committees to once again be formed to administer the justice that is due to these scumbags immediately after they have been tried and convicted. I don't want to see money being wasted on this filth languishing in prison while appeal after appeal is filed and court appointed lawyers make a fortune from our hard earned taxes.
Quite disgusting. The perps need the death penalty.
"...both of Mexia, had been arrested for the crime and were charged Thursday with aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping."
What's this "aggravated assault"? Isn't it possible to charge them with rape?
To all the fathers and mothers out there... a .38 snub nose would have worked wonders. It's a nice hobbie and gift for your loved ones.
A friend of mine, mother of 2, living in College Park, MD. carries one... she is trained and ready to play hard ball.
BTTT
An invasion of Mexico is long overdue.

Bonds are $1 million for two illegal immigrants arrested and charged Thursday in connection with a brutal attack on a recent Mexia High School graduate who was run off a rural road, raped, beaten, stabbed and left to die in a ditch.
The victim was in stable condition Thursday in Scott & White Hospital in Temple.
The girl is “very very fortunate to be a survivor,” Limestone County Sheriff Dennis Wilson said Thursday.
Investigators said they have identified three separate crime scenes related to the attack.
A tip from a Mexia resident led authorities to the two men who were charged with aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping Thursday.
Javier Guzman Martinez, 17, of Mexico was arrested in Limestone County and Noel Darwin Hernandez of Honduras was arrested at a bus station in Waco as he tried to leave the country, Wilson said.
Both men had Mexia addresses, authorities said.
The attack happened late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning on a rural road near Coolidge.
The attackers evidently intended for their victim to die, but bleeding profusely, the girl somehow made her way to a house a half-mile away where she awakened residents with a faint knock on the front door.
“We want to make sure this young lady knows that she and our family are certainly in our prayers and our thoughts, Wilson said.”
Mexia school officials were shocked by news of the attack.
“The community is devastated because she is such a sweet girl,” Mexia School Board President Don Corbitt told News Ten.
“We don’t understand how anyone could do anything like that to a girl at all, much less someone as sweet as she is.
Ditto!!
And for those of you who cannot bring yourselves to using a firearm, invest in some serious bear repellant!
"Heck,they should be hung.."I agree but our justice system has gone soft on crime.Hopefully they'll get what's comming to them in prison.
Welcome to life in the new century, Tejanos.
Ah, yes - Smith & Wesson, the best two friends a girl can have....unless Mr Colt catches her eye.
Arrest, yes. Rope? Should be next.
Wilson said both men are apparently in the United States illegally and will be held without bond on immigration charges. Hernandez is from Honduras, and Martinez is from Mexico, Wilson said.
If any of our so-called "Representatives" in Congress really cared, they would have/start a data base on all crimes committed by illegals. THAT number might get Americans attention.
Just two questions:
1) If the men did not know who she was, how did they know she was by herself in her SUV? Wouldn't they have had to watch her get into the SUV to know? Did she stop for gas or were they watching when she left her friend's house?
2) Living in Texas, making a positive ID of two Hispanic males is not easy. Once you get beyond "male, dark skin, black hair, brown eyes" it is still not easy unless they had tattoos or some other distinguishing mark. If they truly did not know each other, how were the cops able to find them so fast? Did she get the license plate of the car that rammed her?
I'm not saying this wasn't a terrible incident but I'm just a little dubious that this was a random occurance. I think the men did know who she was and knew she was alone before they hit her. Just my hunch.
The feminist always say that rape was a crime that men "winked at" before feminism changed things. But in those old days rape was a capital crime. So the feminazis will say that it was winked at unless it was a Black man or a poor man. But the records show that it was not "winked at" at all.
As for the Black Scottsboro "boys" rape case and the national publicity surrounding it in Alabama, the big money defense eventually blocked the full weight of justice. Those poor "oppressed" fellows had among other lawyers, the same New York attorney who defended the famous mobster Vincent "Mad Dog" Cole. Yet the distortions of the case still come down in comic book history as Alabama was going to railroad these fellows who were indeed guilty.
No, they should be taken out to the most remote, hottest part of the Arizona desert and dropped off with no water and no shoes.
There are many reasons to SECURE THE BORDER!! This is just one more reason to add to the pile. Never have we seen the crime around the country, and in almost every state. Our local news programs (on the left coast) tell of nothing but crime everyday and most of it has to do with gangs, drugs and illegals.
You and my husband are definitely on the same page! It's sad, but I almost wish that someone would start taking the law into their own hands against these types of offenders (rapists and child molestors, not necessarily illegals).
Speechless Ping
Probably just two of the oppressed "people of color" taking revenge on the evil gringo's women.
Yikes, those are my stomping grounds! It is shocking to think that kind of thing can happen in once-peaceful rural Texas. The Invasion and Reconquest has permeated throughout even the backroads of our country. Everyone who is able should carry a gun for self defense and be prepared for this menace.
Just kill them already. There can be no rehabilitation for animals like these.
There was an earlier article that said she talked to them outside of a store or something, then got in her car and left. Apparently they followed her.
perfectly understandable English outside of court only to see them in court claiming "no habla"
Hubby was a firefighter here in a 97% hispanic town. He speaks spanish fluently. Firefighters are always first on scene. The firetruck would pull up and they would stand there and listen to the group (in spanish) getting their stories straight. Hubby would never let them know that he understood them.
There were 3 caucasians firefighters on the truck so noone ever knew that the firefighters understood everything they said in spanish. When the police would arrive, hubby could give them the full story. lol
Some of them have on (some( of the crimes.......read it and weep....
CLOSE THE BORDERS !!!
Check out the following to see who is the bigger threat to American Citizens today, terrorists or illegals. Feel free to share it.
Over 19,000 Americans have died a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens since 9/11 (12 a day).*
Over 20,000 Americans have died at the hands of uninsured drunk driving illegal aliens since 9/11 (13 a day).*
Over 13,000 American children are the victim of a sex crime at the hands of illegal aliens since 9/11 (8 a day).*
Less than 7,000 Americans have died on 9/11 and after due to terrorism, including those who died fighting terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What is the bigger threat to Americans today, terrorist thugs or illegal aliens?

To All:
... about the handgun memo...
This is totally do-able if you would all just stop spending your money on fast food and entertainment... for a few months... Imagine that.
Btw, I'm not a gun salesman...
Mexia.....pronounced, 'MaHaya' is the name of the small town where these scumbags were arrested/living.
I knew Steve King had written that. My point is the Congress people who are against illegal immigration and amnesty should be shouting those numbers from the rooftops. Those numbers should be their answer to ANY questions about illegal immigration.
Most Americans have no clue since they are not political junkies.
Bill would require Houston police to enforce immigration laws

I sent him a copy too......Gave him a total, too, might be too many 'zero's' for him to tally.

They should bring back the death penalty for Rape.
Not because of this case, but because it never should've been knocked down.
I like your plan!
What a sorry bunch of losers we have in Washington DC, who will make every effort to ignore what is happening to US citizens on their watch.
Makes me long for the days of tar and feathers.
First on the list would be Specter, Kennedy and McCain.
I just hope that she suppresses the liberal teachings that were forced into her brain in college enough to listen to my reasons for this gift.
I suggest that after the conclusion of the Second Mexican War we change all the Spanish place names in this country. How do "Saint Frank" and "Angel City" sound to you?
(I'm only half-joking here)
Nail their member and nutsack to a stump with 4 16 penny nails and give them a dull knife. If they want to go home, they will have to use the knive.
I wonder if they are legal residents of the state of Texas.
Just send one good man with the proper training and attitude.
bump
>"Just send one good man with the proper training and attitude."
No , I want the our troops wiping their boots all over Mexican dirt.
I want the elite of Mexico sputtering "But you can't do this!" "You can't do this!".
