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.
