A former Bexar County probation officer faces up to 30 years in prison after admitting Tuesday to sexually assaulting a minor girl over an eight-day period near the end of 2010.

William J. Hagan, 53, of Fair Oaks Ranch pleaded guilty to four charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child, and no-contest to one other identical charge, under a plea deal that was approved by state District Court Judge Keith Williams.

The sentencing agreement struck with prosecutor Lucy Wilke caps the possible punishment range at 30 years for Williams at a sentencing hearing set for Sept. 1.

Defense attorney Alan Brown said he intends to seek deferred adjudication probation for Hagan, who resigned his job as an adult probation officer in San Antonio in January.

Wilke said she struck the deal based on the lack of a criminal record for Hagan and the facts of the case, which included the defendant reporting to authorities his abuse of the victim.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, was ordered on Monday to be held without bail over allegations that he had sexually assaulted a housekeeper in a lavish suite at a Midtown hotel.

The decision to deny bail was a surprising and striking defeat for Strauss-Kahn, whom many saw as a leading contender to become France’s next president.

He was taken to Rikers Island, where he will be held in protective custody in a single person cell.

Prosecutors had asked the Criminal Court judge, Melissa C. Jackson, to remand Strauss-Kahn, 62, contending that he was a flight risk.

They also indicated that he may have been previously involved in a similar episode.

“Some of this information includes reports he has in fact engaged in conduct similar to the conduct alleged in this complaint on at least one other occasion,” said Artie McConnell, an assistant district attorney.

McConnell said the other occasion, which occurred outside the United States, was still being investigated.

In opposing bail, prosecutors highlighted the serious nature of the allegations.

“The defendant restrained a hotel employee inside of the room,” McConnell said. “He sexually assaulted her and attempted to forcibly rape  her,” and when that failed, McConnell said, he forced her to perform oral sex.

As he entered the court room, Strauss-Kahn looked just as he had the day before – in a dark full length coat, hands cuffed behind his back and a stern gaze on his face. He did not enter a plea during the proceeding, nor did he speak aloud.

The criminal complaint says that Strauss-Kahn shut the door and prevented the woman from leaving, grabbing her breasts, trying to pull down her pantyhose and grabbing her crotch.

Benjamin Brafman, one of Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers, argued that “this is a very, very defensible case. He should be entitled to bail.”

He suggested that it be set at $1 million, and said that Strauss-Kahn’s wife, flying in from Paris on Monday afternoon, would provide the money.

Brafman added that if his client were granted bail, he would stay with his daughter in New York for the duration of the case.

He also said Strauss-Kahn and his wife owned a house in the Georgetown neighborhood in Washington.

But prosecutors said that Strauss-Kahn’s resources, the lack of an extradition treaty between the United States and France, and the defendant’s history were all reasons that he should not be granted bail.

“When I hear that your client was at JFK Airport about to board a flight,” Jackson said, “that raises some concern.”

The judge also indicated that she would not reconsider her bail decision.

The Vatican told bishops on Monday to make fighting sexual abuse of minors by clerics a priority, telling them to create “clear and coordinated” procedures by next year and cooperate with law enforcement authorities when required.

The recommendations, detailed in a letter; are among the clearest to emerge from the Vatican since a sexual abuse scandal erupted in Europe last year. But they are not binding in church law and do not spell out any enforcement procedures or punishments for bishops who have been found to have violated church law.

The guidelines note that the sexual abuse of minors by clerics is not only an offense punishable by church law, but also “a crime prosecuted by civil law.”

Still, they play down the role of civilian review boards that have investigated abuse in Ireland, the United States and elsewhere, noting that those boards “cannot substitute” for bishops’ ultimate authority in adjudicating abuse cases.

The letter’s emphasis on the power of bishops did not go over well with some vicims’ advocates, who have said that the bishops themselves have contributed to the problem by being more concerned with protecting priests than with protecting children.

“There’s no enforcement,” the Survivors Network  of Those Abused by Priests, a leading victims‘ rights groups in the U.S., said in a statement. “There are no penalties for bishops who don’t come up with guidelines or who violate their own guidelines.”

“Until that happens, until top church officials who hide and enable abuse are severely disciplined, top Church officials will continue to hide and enable abuse,” the group said.

The Vatican said the letter, signed by its chief doctrinal officer, Cardinal William Levada, was essentially aimed at making bishops around the world more responsive.

“The aim of the document is to provide a common denominator for principles that everyone can bear in mind making appropriate directives,” the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said Monday.

Lombardi said the Vatican could not issue universal requirements for mandatory reporting to civil authorities because it also operates in countries with repressive governments.

“Each reality is different, culturally and from the point of view of different countries’ laws,” he said.

The letter states that bishops are required to investigate all claims and send all cases deemed “credible” to the Vatican for review.

It says bishops should also listen to victims, create “safe environment” programs for minors and properly screen seminarians.

The Vatican’s letter Monday incorporated revisions made last year to the church’s procedures on prosecuting sexual abuse, including extending the use of fast track procedures against priests and doubling the statute of limitations for disciplinary action against priests to 10 years from the victims 18th birthday.

It said that local bishops did not have to make their guidelines church law, as bishops in the U.S. have done, but could ask the Vatican for permission to do so.

Las recomendaciones, detalladas en una carta; son la más clara para salir desde el Vaticano ya que un escándalo de abuso sexual estalló en Europa el año pasado. Pero no son vinculantes en ley de la Iglesia y no precisar los procedimientos de ejecución ni castigos para los obispos que han encontrado que han violado la ley de la iglesia.
 

Tenga en cuenta las directrices que el abuso sexual de menores por clérigos es no sólo un delito punible por la ley de la iglesia, sino también “un delito perseguido por la ley civil”.
 

Aún así, desempeñan el papel de juntas de revisión civiles que han investigado abusos en Irlanda, Estados Unidos y otros países, señalando que esas juntas “no pueden sustituir” para la máxima autoridad de los obispos en adjudicar casos de abuso.
 

Énfasis de la Carta sobre el poder de los obispos no resultó bien con los defensores de algunos vicims, que han dicho que los obispos mismos han contribuido al problema por estar más preocupado con la protección de sacerdotes que con la protección de los niños.
 

“No hay ninguna aplicación”, los sobrevivientes red de los abusados por sacerdotes, grupos de derechos de un líder víctimas en los Estados Unidos, dijo en una declaración. “No hay no hay sanciones para los obispos que no incluyen directrices o que violan sus propias directrices”.
 

“Hasta que eso pase, hasta altos funcionarios de la iglesias que ocultar y permiten abusos severamente son disciplinados, altos funcionarios de la Iglesia continuará ocultar y permitir abusos,” dijo el grupo.
 

El Vaticano dijo que la Carta, firmada por su director doctrinal, el Cardenal William Levada, fue esencialmente destinada a obispos del mundo más sensibles.
 

“El objetivo del documento es proporcionar un denominador común de principios que todo el mundo puede tener en cuenta que las directivas adecuadas”, dijo el portavoz del Vaticano, el reverendo Federico Lombardi, el lunes.
 

Lombardi dijo que el Vaticano no podía emitir universales requisitos de notificación obligatoria a las autoridades civiles porque también opera en países con gobiernos represivos.
 

“Cada realidad es diferente, desde el punto de vista de las leyes de diferentes países y culturalmente”, dijo.
 

La carta dice que los obispos están obligados a investigar todas las reclamaciones y enviar que todos los casos consideran “creíbles” al Vaticano para su revisión.
 

Dice obispos deben también escuchar a las víctimas, crear programas de “entorno seguro” para los menores y correctamente la pantalla seminaristas.
 

Carta del Vaticano el lunes hecho revisiones incorporadas el año pasado a los procedimientos de la Iglesia sobre la persecución de abuso sexual, incluyendo ampliar el uso de procedimientos de fast track contra sacerdotes y duplicar el estatuto de limitaciones para acción disciplinaria contra los sacerdotes a 10 años de las víctimas 18 cumpleaños.
 

Dice que los obispos locales no tenía que hacer su ley Iglesia de directrices, como obispos de los Estados Unidos han hecho, pero podrían pedir el Vaticano permiso hacerlo.

A Copperas Cove man remained in custody Tuesday, charged in the aggravated sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl he met over the internet. 

Robert Douglass Randlett, 21, was arrested Saturday after the girl’s parents called authorities, said Comal County Sheriff’s Sgt. Tommy Ward.

When she disappeared from her San Antonio home, her parents found information that implicated Randlett and mentioned the Canyon Lake area as a rendezvous point.

Ward said deputies searched the area and found the man’s car parked at a resort hotel, then found Randlett and the girl in a room there.

Randlett is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.  The girl was returned to her parents.

A police report that Patricia Martinez keeps folded in a large Ziploc bag tells some of the story she wants to forget.

A man, it states, walked into the small travel agency in Los Angeles where she worked, chatted her up, then grabbed her arm and thrust her against a wall, fondling her breasts and trying to disrobe her.

More than eight years later, in the living room of her San Antonio home, Martinez, now 27, could still recall his face, disheveled hair and ragged clothing.  He was larger than her, she said.  The struggle seemed to last hours.  Then he fled and she sank to the floor and wept, more from her feelings of impotence than anything else.

Martinez, a petite woman with short, brown hair from Monterrey, Mexico, was living in the United States illegally.  To call police seemed ”well, illogical,” she said.

But she did.  It led to something she hadn’t expected-a U-visa, temporary legal status for crime victims who cooperate in criminal investigations, especially cases of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking.  Some recipients can apply for permanent residency after three years. 

Holding up the police report, Martinez said, “This has changed my life.”

Congress approved the U-visa almost unanimously in 2000 to encourage immigrants to report crime without fear of deportation, forge trust between them and local authorities and thus strengthen crime fighting in their communities. 

But a push among Texas lawmakers to prohibit “sanctuary cities” and other measures that would link local police work to immigration enforcement could derail those efforts, critics say.

HB 12 would not require officers to check the immigration status of individuals they detain but it would prevent local governments from denying them the ability to do so, at the risk of losing state funds.  Proponents say the bill aims to stop local jurisdictions from protecting illegal immigrants but would not threaten efforts to help crime victims.

“Contrary to arguments made by some, there is no conflict between U-visas and banning sanctuary city policies,” said U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.  “Illegal immigrant victims of crime will not be prevented from obtaining U-visas if sanctuary city policies are banned.”

Some Texas police chiefs and sheriffs, including San Antonio Police Chief William McManus, have lobbied against HB 12, meeting at the state Capitol in February to denounce a slew of what they termed “Arizona-style” bills they said would undermine cooperation between officers and otherwise law-abiding people who are here illegally.

El Paso County Sheriff Richard Wiles said local police have a more urgent need to build partnerships with the public than federal law enforcement.

“We need the whole community to trust and respect us and to call us and help us to prevent crime, and we don’t want to tear that down,” Wiles said in a recent interview while at a border sheriff’s meeting in San Antonio.

Programs such as Secure Communities, which compares fingerprints of those arrested to Department of Homeland Security and FBI databases, have the benefit of keeping local officers from having to enforce immigration laws, a job they are not trained to do and that would be especially difficult in family violence cases, Bexar County Sheriff Amadeo Ortiz said.

Officers want to solve cases and keep the streets safe regardless “of who you are and where you’re from,” added his deputy chief for patrols, Dale Bennett.  “Adding the potential threat of arrest and deportation (to those who report crimes) increases that risk of never solving cases that much greater.”

Martinez is studying for a graduate school entrance exam and will seek a part time job when her two children are a little older.  Because her U-visa’s benefits extend to her former boyfriend, now her husband, he is working at a local restaurant to support the family.

She remembers how stunned she was to see Los Angeles police rush to respond to her report of the assault.  They even searched the streets for her attacker with dogs and a helicopter but were unable to find him.  Months later, Martinez nervously picked him out of a photo lineup.  She had not even wanted to go to the station, she recalled.
