Army Sergeant Whose Lawyer Compared Case to Kavanaugh Allegations Gets 99 Years for Sex Abuse

So a military veteran gets convicted of sex crimes, while a wealthy man not only gets acquitted of the same crimes, but gets appointed to the Supreme Court.

Yeah, something ain't right here...

1.Dr. Ford never fled a criminal complaint.

There's no statute of limitations in Maryland.

2. Dr. Ford can't remember much.

In this case, there's multiple witnesses.

Martin Balleza, 40, is on trial in state district court, charged with continuous sex abuse of a child stemming from an outcry by a young girl in February 2016. He’s accused of sexually assaulting several young girls, all relatives.

Tuesday afternoon, prosecutors Daryl Harris and Denise Hairston called three of the child victims to testify. At one point, Harris stacked thick files and a book in the witness chair so that the 9-year-old witness could see the jury and court gallery.

“Has anyone touched your private parts?” Harris asked the girl, who pointed to Balleza and said he touched her “more than one time, with his hand” when she visited Balleza’s Northeast San Antonio home. She was 7 at the time.

The girl used her own words to describe her anatomy and oral sex.

“His mouth touched my middle, and he put his middle in my mouth,” she told the jury, after identifying her “middle.”

“He said don’t tell my parents or else he’d get in trouble,” the 9-year-old said.

Another girl, 11, testified that Balleza touched her inappropriately three times when she was at his home.

“He touched me. He touched my private part where I go No. 1. It made me feel scared. I didn’t know what to do,” recalled the 11-year-old, who was 9 at the time of the incidents.

A 16-year-old testified that she was visiting Balleza’s home overnight when the man went into the room where she was sleeping at his home, spread her legs and began touching her over her clothes, then fondled her.

“I kept resisting,” she told the jury. The girl was 14 at the time. She said she was able to get away from him by going into another room of the house.

Earlier Tuesday, the military sergeant’s brother, Steven Balleza testified that he was out of town and was “startled” when he found out his brother went missing and had attempted suicide after one of the victims made the outcry.

Steven Balleza said when he returned to town, he went to see his brother in the hospital to give him support and tell him he loved him.

“He (Martin Balleza) told me I wouldn’t love him after hearing what he had to say. I told him I loved him and like God forgave me, I’d forgive him,” Steven Balleza said.

He then told the jury the sergeant told him he had “hurt and touched” young girls because he wasn’t getting enough attention from his now-estranged wife.

“He’s still my brother, I love him, I just hate what’s happened,” Steven Balleza said, his voice breaking.

But in this case there was collaborating evidence. His brother Steven Balleze provide collaboration of Martin Balleza’s guilt.

If wealth was the deciding factor, then Bill Cosby with a net worth of nearly half a billion dollars wouldn't be in jail.
