Another Fairfax Suspect Faces Rape, Abduction Charges After Failure To Prosecute

In Fairfax County alone, Arevalo has been charged with, and then had dismissed, crimes including abduction by force and intimidation, petit larceny, assault and battery of a family member, and fleeing from law enforcement, according to Virginia Judiciary records.

The 46-year-old Arevalo was one of two suspects in a January pursuit connected to a felony abduction investigation that involved a Fairfax County Police helicopter, Virginia State Police, and the Alexandria Police Department. The fleeing vehicle was stopped with a PIT maneuver before the passenger took off. Arevalo was later found in a wooded area and taken into custody, The DC MD VA Live reported at the time.

Arevalo’s charges stemming from both the felony abduction investigation and the pursuit were later dismissed.

“How long until this illegal alien predator goes free again?” local watchdog Virginians for Safe Communities asked Wednesday.

The county’s commonwealth’s attorney, Steve Descano, is a George Soros-funded prosecutor who is actively being investigated by the DOJ for similar actions.

The DOJ probe is set to determine whether Descano’s office gave preferential treatment to illegal alien criminal defendants and discriminated against American citizens by dismissing the crimes of illegal aliens to prevent them from being deported.

Descano also faces pressure from federal lawmakers and from family members of victims in the county.

At a May House Judiciary Committee hearing focusing on the county’s failures, the mother of Stephanie Minter, who was allegedly stabbed to death at a county bus stop by a criminal illegal alien in February, criticized the county’s policies.

“When policies protect people who are known threats, innocent lives are put at risk. When warnings are ignored, families like mine pay the price. This is not just about Stephanie; this is about every mother, every parent, every child, every person who waits at a bus stop, walks home, or goes to work trusting that they’ll be safe,” the mother testified. “We cannot ignore this; we cannot look away. Compassion should never come at the cost of public safety. Care for one group should not mean danger for another.”

Similarly, another illegal alien whose charges had also been dismissed by Descano, Moises Domingo Rico Rosales, was arrested last week on charges of attempted abduction and indecent exposure.
