W ea r yoi r B eavers or D i c k s <~WUlianv gear ! s„„g GREAT ENTERTAINMENT LINE UP- \ «if Plead for justice for serial rapist Support the life sentence for Romeo Castellanos for the rape of Kolleen Chapa. Kolieen was raped by Romeo on July 21, 2012 and he was found guilty of Sexual Assault II on July 23,2013. Romeo qualifies for the life sentence for his fifth conviction of Sexual Assault. This means he would be in prison for 25 years and then eligible for parole. He could get as little as 36 months. With 13 months already served in jail since the rape of Kolleen, he could qualify for earlier release and be out to rape more girls. In a letter, if you will, present who you are, your relation to Kolleen (family, friend, community member), how long you have known her, any changes you have noticed from the girl she was a year ago to the girl she is today; if you are able to, state that you are in support of the life sentence for Romeo and why you feel this is important. Any status couldn’t hurt....letting them know you are a Veteran of the Armed Forces, hold or have held a position in local/state/federal government, your profession, so they know people of all walks of life are appalled at the torture these predators force on their victims. We want to protect young girls from this predator. He has already been convicted for five rapes and we know of one other that was reported at Western Oregon University in 2009. So you know, only one in 10 victims reports their experience and presses charges. Please join us and stand up against this predator and let the justice system know we support the victims and want the predators sentenced to life. Please either email with subject as “Support Life Sentence-Romeo Castellanos” to jodisweetpro@gmail. com, or, if you will, write a letter to the judge and address the envelope as follows: “Support Life Sentence-Romeo Castellanos, Attention: Judge Monte Campbell, Polk County Courthouse” and please bring the letter to me before Aug. 19. We will hand-deliver the letters on Aug. 20 at the 9 a.m. Sentencing Hearing in Dallas, Oregon. If you know anyone in the valley who can attend the hearing, we are trying to fill the seats in the courtroom as well as the hallway, and even the grass courtyard outside the courthouse if we can. Thank you so much for your support. on #5.
