Love is a great thing but it's not supposed to involve beating and torture, as a young woman from the South Shore eventually learned.
Juan Pablo Urizar, 25, met an 18-year-old girl about five years ago, while she was living with her parents.
He drove a Jag, flashed a wad and told her he worked for his father's company.
She lived with her parents in Longueuil and was trying to complete her high school. Her home life was a bit rocky and she was greatly impressed by his freewheeling spending ways.
After three weeks of dating, she asked how she could earn big money like him. He suggested she strip. Urizar proceeded to set her up with a stripper mentor named Andreanne. He also gives her cocaine to help her get over her nerves.
She soon learned that Urizar felt entitled to all of her earnings and would smack her if she hestitated to hand it over and he got it.
She returned bloodied and beaten to her parents after one such session but declined to report the assault because of their love.
Her ordered her to quit school and she found herself sleeping on a deflated air mattress in his apartment, being forced to give him her cell phone whenever she left the apartment.
Urizar kept on claiming her earnings by force. One time he even ordered her to give his brother $400 to fix his car. Urizar also beat her for returning with only $200, when he said the minimum was $300.
He chose her stripper name, work hours and ordered her to tattoo his name on her body so everybody in the strip club would know that she's his property.
Urizar tracked her down to a South Shore hotel, where she was presumably earning money for him but he wasn't happy, so he got into the room and beat her relentlessly for 30 minutes, stuffing his fingers into her anus, squeezing her nipples, slapping her with a belt and hitting her until she saw stars, which is a symptom of a concussion.
Another time he choked her untl she was unconscious, tossed a bucket of cold water on her face and shot her with a taser gun.
She frequently returned to her parents but he managed to seduce her back every time with sweet talk.
She was dedicated to saving their relationship.
"I want to live with you and work honestly and have fun with you," "I was almost going to therapy with you to save our marriage," "I hope you're not gonna make shit, I love you, I want to change that. Forget dancing in the clubs, I've found a job at my mother."
The worm eventually turned and she filed charges. Bad news for Urizar.
Urizar did not testify at his own trial but his lawyers attempted to challenge details of her testimony.
But he was convicted of robbery, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, , sexual assault, sexual assault causing bodily harm, drug trafficking, sequestration, human trafficking, Bénéfice d'un avantage matériel (?) and stalking.
He managed to get three initial convictions wiped out on appeal: extortion, possession of a weapon to commit an offense and threats to cause death or bodily harm.
The judgment describe the case in detail. On August 13, 2010 Urizar was convicted of Robbery, Assault with a weapon, Assault causing bodily harm, Threats to cause death or bodily harm, Sexual assault, Sexual assault causing bodily harm, Drug trafficking, Sequestration, Possession of a weapon to commit an offense, Trafficking in Persons, Extortion and Stalking.
Sounds like a bad movie.
ReplyDeleteAre women really this stupid?
"Beat me...I love you!" :-(
"Complete her high school" is a beautiful example of Québec English, incomprehensible to anglophones elsewhere because it is a word-for-word translation of "compléter son secondaire" In English, completing someone's high school would mean adding the roof to her school's building, while completing high school (minus the possessive) would mean graduating.
ReplyDeleteI think they'd understand it elsewhere. It's short for complete her high school "degree". Just like we'd say "complete her BA." (Even though we all technically know that it's not "her" BA until she actually gets it). I phrased it that way to make it clearer that she had quit and was returning, but yeah, graduate is the proper word for sure.
ReplyDeleteThis dude should open a charm school...but he is now in jail where I am sure he will be opened up a bit if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteEvery city has their own versions...Pontiac,MI for instance with Kevin Matirne. There is always a heroin-addicted former teen model eager to be associated with a sugar daddy rather than get a real job.

ReplyDeleteHe got 6 years.
This is just so commonplace, The Great Seduction, these predators prey on the most vulnerable and pounce, so many victims out there, the numbers are absolutely staggering. This young woman showed great courage, steet gangs were notorious for this in my day, I imagine they still are, sad indeed, vey sad, we need exemplary sentences, nuff said.
ReplyDelete6 years...he'll make good friends and get out after a year in our great system. Ive read similar stories of Haitians stalking Montreal high schools for the same purpose. The difference being they got the ultimate ''death'' penalty, they were deported back to Haiti !
