The Attorney General’s Office yesterday filed charges against a man for kidnapping and beating a woman.
Miller Paulino John, 31, was charged with kidnapping and two counts of assault and battery.
Chief Prosecutor Jeffrey Moots stated in the information that on Oct. 29, 2005, John “removed [the victim] a substantial distance from the vicinity where the defendant found [her].”
Moots said John struck the victim in the face by slapping her in Central Garapan.
Moots said the defendant also punched the victim in the face along Middle Road across Down Town Market.
No other details were given.
In other court news, a 39-year-old man was arrested for allegedly grabbing and pushing his wife in front of their two children at their apartment on Capital Hill Monday morning.
Frederick SK. Santos was detained for assault and battery. A $1,000 cash bail was imposed for his temporary liberty.
The victim told police that, while she was watching their two children playing in the living room and kitchen area around 5am, Santos arrived.
The victim told Santos to watch the children because she needed to do some errands. While she was brushing her teeth in the company of their two-year-old son, the defendant allegedly grabbed her left wrist and pulled her out of the bathroom.
The woman stumbled over some toys. Santos then again grabbed her other wrist and pushed her toward the bedroom.
The victim tried to resist, but Santos allegedly told her she was not strong. She ran outside and dialed the police emergency hotline.
She told police that John has been subjecting her to verbal, emotional, and physical abuse since they arrived on Saipan five months ago.
