Illegal Charged with Molesting Own Step-Daughter Gets $1 Million from Taxpayers

If you’re interested in the outrage of the week, consider the case of Gerardo Valerio-Romero. If you’re not familiar with him, MRC TV’s Brittany Hughes will fill you in — and it will make you sick to your stomach.

According to a video uploaded Wednesday, Valerio-Romero — an illegal immigrant who stands accused of molesting his own 8-year-old stepdaughter — has received over $1 million in medical treatments while he’s incarcerated.

The Salt Lake Tribune reported that the Mexican citizen was in the custody of officials in Utah County, Utah when he was diagnosed with cancer. Since then, his medical bills have been so high that, according to CBS News, Sheriff Jim Tracy was faced with the choice of having to lay off employees or close jail beds. He’s since resigned over the case.

“Forty-nine-year-old Gerardo Valerio-Romero’s tab for cancer treatment has all but bankrupted the local jail in a Utah county, where he’s been charged with six counts of sexually assaulting his own 8-year-old stepdaughter, along with eight felony counts of forgery and one count of illegally possessing someone else’s ID,” Hughes says in the Wednesday video.

“Valerio-Romero was arrested back in March of last year, but his trial has already been postponed twice,” she noted. “In the meantime, he’s managed to cost the county nearly a million bucks in cancer treatments — and that’s even after the hospital agreed to discounts.

“The Washington Post reports that Valerio-Romero’s cancer treatments have completely drained the county jail’s entire medical budget, which was only about a half a million to begin with,” she continued.

“This problem has gotten so bad in fact that Sheriff Jim Tracy announced he is resigning effective August 3, largely thanks to budgetary stress stemming from having to fork over this guy’s medical costs and figuring out which governmental body bears responsibility for paying it. The County Commission is actually scrambling to shift tax dollars around from other public services so that they can cover this one inmate’s mounting expenses despite the fact that he shouldn’t even be here in the first place.”

“Now, you might be asking why authorities don’t just release this guy and boot him back to Mexico,” she says.

“Well, they would, except the sheriff’s office said that they’re afraid to drop the charges and let him go because they aren’t convinced that he’ll actually get deported, and even if he does, that he won’t just come right back. And isn’t that just a little sad?”

Yes, welcome to America, where an accused child molester can’t even be deported to Mexico and instead is eating up the entire budget of a single county. And while this is an extreme case, Hughes notes that the cost of illegal immigrants in our justice system is extraordinarily high.

“Now, keep in mind that this is just one illegal inmate in a sea of similar stories across the entire country,” she notes.

Either that or let the inmates take care of him.
Let the the other prisoners take care of him then close the case due to lack of evidence.

No more of this foolishness. If the lawyers and judges keep postponing his trial let them pay his medical bills out of their own pockets. I'll bet he gets gone with lightning speed. I am sick of lawyers getting a free ride off taxpayers dime and prolonging everything so they get more money. I am mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!!

That was just what I was going to post. Take him to the border, cure his cancer and end all the problems with a well placed .45 slug into the brain pan. Problem solved. Report it as a Clinton style suicide, two shots in the back of the head.
