Not Giving Up: Betrayed Sisters Seek Man Who Molested Them |
|
| |
Maggie, 28, wishes she could turn the clock back about a dozen years. Maggie says that if only she had spoken out at the time when she was being sexually abused by a man she trusted, then she could have perhaps prevented her younger stepsister, Francelia, from also being assaulted by the same man.
Maggie was only 12 when she was sexually abused the first time. For Maggie and Francelia, the abuse continued throughout their formative teenage years: cops say they both endured repeated incidents of forced sexual intercourse with their own father, Roque Mora. In 2001, Francelia -- who was only 17-years-old at the time -- became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. For nearly a decade, the two young women didn't tell anyone about the abuse. |

Police: DNA Confirms Father Is Molester |
|
| |
Just a few years ago, Maggie began to talk about the abuses with her family. Francelia then confessed that she, too, had been sexually abused by their father. Feeling betrayed, Maggie, now a registered nurse, channeled her anger and resentment to finding her fugitive father and bringing him to justice.
In March 2006, Maggie and Francelia went to police in Sierra Vista, Ariz. and reported that Mora had sexually abused them for several years. Detectives then went to Mora's workplace with a court order and compelled him to provide a DNA sample for a paternity test. According to Maggie, her father fled to Mexico under a dark cloud of suspicion, but later returned to Sierra Vista.
When the Arizona Dept. of Public Safety crime lab definitively identified Mora as the biological father of his own grandson, cops went back to his workplace and arrested him. After a couple weeks in jail, Mora posted bail and fled again.
Determined to find him, Maggie then turned to AMW for help.
In her letter to AMW, Maggie pleaded, "I am writing you this letter because I desperately need your help. My sister and I were both sexually abused by our father as teenagers and as a result of this abuse, my younger sister became pregnant by him. The son that was born is my brother/nephew. DNA tests taken after our father was arrested confirmed that in fact our father had impregnated my sister." |

Fugitive Had Prior Sex Conviction |
|
| |
Roque Mora, 54, is a repeat sexual predator. Public records show Mora has served time in an Arizona prison for a prior sexual abuse conviction. Mora was convicted for the 1983 molestation of a 9-year-old girl and an 11-year-old girl.
Speaking about her father, Maggie says, "This man needs to be stopped and put away for the rest of his life. Please help me find him."
Sierra Vista detectives shared Maggie's determination and didn't give up looking for Mora until he was captured and sitting in a jail cell again. "My agency's ultimate goal is to get Roque Mora into custody and provide a sense of closure and justice for the victims," Det. Nick Lamay told AMW.
That goal was reached on April 9, 2008 when Mexican authorities working with the FBI's Border Liaison Dept. arrested Mora in Mexico.
