On Tuesday, May 24, 2011, at approximately 2:10 a.m., Ocean City Police responded to the 100 block of Wicomico Street for a reported sexual assault. An investigation revealed the suspect, who has been identified as Rodney Gregory Henri, 27, allegedly illegally entered the residence of the victim and sexually assaulted her while she was asleep.
Henri awakened the victim, whose name is not being released. The victim immediately attempted to stop the
assault. Henri then fled from the residence, but was later located by police in the area of North Division Street, where he was positively identified by the victim as the suspect of the assault.
Henri was arrested and charged with attempted second degree rape, first degree burglary, third degree burglary, third degree sex offense and second degree assault. After being seen by an Ocean City District Court.
Whenever I read something like this I always go to Judiciary Case Search and take a look at the perpetrators criminal history in MD. Just about every time I do this it reveals that the person has a history of criminal behavior with never anything more than a slap on the wrist. After looking up Rodney Henri you can see a list of previous arrests for mostly violent crimes. The most this man has ever received is 60 days in jail. This is shorter than the time Marines spend away from their families at Basic Training. Most of his arrests result in Nolle Prosequis' Stet Dockets, or dismissals. I attempted to make a spreadsheet one time to put together some of these criminals long rap sheets with virtually no punishment but it was just all too time consuming. When are people going to stop allowing this from our State's Attorney's offices and Judges in this state?
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you that those who are charged are not charged severely enough and vice versa. I guess it all depends on who you know and how well you can manipulate the system.
ReplyDeleteThe Daily Times reported that he even called 911 and made up a false story about the girl's boyfriend assaulting him, just to get the guy out of the hotel room. He watched "from the shadows" as he was arrested then went in to the hotel room immediately after.
