Massachusetts authorities released a man on bail who was accused of sexually abusing his stepdaughter. He allegedly killed her on Thursday before turning the gun on himself, police said.

Juliano Santana, 49, was released from jail on a $30,000 cash bond in 2021 after being charged with six counts of aggravated rape of a child. The child in this case was his stepdaughter who was 13 years of age at the time.


Santana was ordered by a judge to wear an ankle monitor and have no contact with the victim or anyone under the age of 18 per condition of release, court documents show. The victim was granted a restraining order and the judge set his trial date for July 29, 2024.

On Thursday, Juliano Santana abducted his stepdaughter while she was walking on Great Road near Acton after school. The victim's mother reported her daughter missing to police around 4 pm. Authorities tracked Santana's location via his GPS ankle monitoring device, according to the Middlesex District Attorney.

Another rogue "judge"...prosecutors asked for $100k bail, the "judge" gave him $30k.
Rot in hell, the both of you for killing this girl.

[Smokin Joe]

Yeah, that ankle monitor and no contact order sure kept that kid safe. (/s)

Considering all the ordinary social mores about not diddling children had already been ignored, a piece of paper and a little 'accessorizing' is supposed to be a restraint?
This guy was already outside the lines.
That sh*t doesn't stop anything.
As if she hadn't suffered enough.

Yeah, Judge, there's a special spot in Hell for you.

If she were my child he would get there a lot quicker!

If she were my child he would get there a lot quicker!

Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.
What goes around, comes around.
I have found His balancing the scales to be far more imaginative than any (relatively fast) punishment I could come up with, and less likely for someone to cry out for His forgiveness...

[LMAO]

We have someone in the White House who gets to be president despite he  diddling and sniffing children. If someone who occupies the highest office of the land engages in this behavior, why would simply placing a restraining order on an individual change their behaviors


This poor child. If I didn’t have my faith as an anchor, all the news out there would make me completely insane

Man accused of killing his stepdaughter in Acton had been awaiting trial on rape charges for close to three years

Sean Cotter  •  23h

ACTON — When a mother and her teenage daughter went to the Malden police station in September 2021 to report that the girl’s stepfather had repeatedly raped her, beginning when she was 13, authorities took swift action, arresting and arraigning the man the same day.

After that, the case languished, beset by numerous delays.

Close to three years later, Juliano F. Santana, 49, was still awaiting trial on multiple child-rape charges when law enforcement authorities say he abducted the now-16-year-old girl as she walked home from school on Thursday afternoon.

She had walked a couple of miles, and was near a grocery story not far from her home, when Santana picked her up. He drove to the parking lot outside her home on Great Road, where he fatally shot her and then killed himself, authorities said.
The girl has not been identified.

On Friday, as news of the teen’s horrific death filtered through this usually quiet town northwest of Boston, questions were raised over how an accused child rapist was able to remain free awaiting trial, and about the case’s lengthy timeline.

”He’s been out on bail with an ankle bracelet for three damn years,” said David Bedrosian, 62, president of the condo association for the complex where the girl lived.

He shook his head angrily as he spoke of her death. “And how’d he get a gun? Something’s wrong with the justice system.”

At Santana’s arraignment in September 2021, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan’s office asked for $100,000 bail, but a judge set it at $30,000, according to court records. After posting bail, Santana was released that month on the conditions that he wear a GPS bracelet and stay away from the girl, court records state.

Nearly three years later, his trial was slated to begin this year, on July 29.  .  .  .

Massachusetts had a Republican governor in 2018 who tried to strengthen the bail laws, but the Democrat legislature rejected his bill.

Baker seeks to make it easier to hold dangerous defendants who are awaiting trial

Laura Crimaldi  |  September 6, 2018  |  1:46 p.m.

Governor Charlie Baker on Thursday unveiled legislation that would make it easier for courts to detain criminal defendants pending trial, following a recent spate of high-profile crimes allegedly committed by people who were free on bail or had lengthy criminal records.

Baker announced the bill during a State House news conference where he was joined by the police chiefs of Weymouth and Yarmouth, where officers were killed in the line of duty this year. The proposal would revamp the state’s dangerousness statute, which empowers judges to detain criminal defendants awaiting trial in felony cases if they pose a danger to the community.

“I think we can all agree that keeping our communities safe is a fundamental responsibility of government and that we take that very seriously,” Baker said.  .  .

Baker's Latest ‘Dangerousness' Proposal Firmly Rejected in Mass. House

Chris Lisinski • Published July 30, 2022 • Updated on July 30, 2022 at 6:36 pm

The Massachusetts House on Saturday rejected a Gov. Charlie Baker plan to overhaul how criminal defendants can be deemed dangerous and detained, spiking his last-minute effort to attach the controversial measure to another criminal justice reform push.

The House voted 31-122 to shoot down a state budget amendment Baker sent back (H 5112), which appended a narrower version of the so-called "dangerousness" bill lawmakers already sent to a dead-end study to a provision offering free communication to incarcerated people and their families.

Baker and his deputies argued the amendment represented a potential compromise with the Legislature, paring down the original bill (H 4290) that had prompted significant concerns among civil rights advocates, but Judiciary Committee Co-chair Rep. Mike Day on Saturday called the rewrite "a bad proposal that, if enacted in its current form, would likely substantially increase the rate and duration of pretrial detention."  .  .  .

When facing any governmental question, ask yourself, "What would satan do in this situation if he was in charge?"

The answer to that question is exactly what Democrats will do every time.

[Smokin Joe]

Three years awaiting trial?

WTF?

Was he in Washington on J6?

What happened to the Right to a speedy trial, even if the defendant did not invoke it?
