"... in the pile of ignored cases is the alleged rape of a 17-year-old girl in 2006. Sheriff Joe Arpaio's detectives largely disregarded the case, according to police records, never questioning the suspect, the accuser or any potential witnesses. The investigation was classified as "inactive." Two years after that incident, the suspect in that case, Armando De La Rosa, admitted to having sex with a 14-year-old girl, when he was 20, records show. He was later convicted of attempted sexual conduct with a minor – a plea agreement because he had no previous felonies on his record."
How many others?

"This is a political situation. We cleared up our mess in 2007, and my message to everybody is I'm going to be around. I will continue to enforce all the laws, including the illegal immigration laws that they don't like me to do."

This is Azirona, right? So they are too busy hassling Mexican illegalworkers to attend to child rape cases. Skewed priorities or what?
