A television report indicates that Jocelyn Nungaray, the 12-year-old girl whose body was found in a creek in north Houston in June, was sexually assaulted.
A pair of illegal aliens, Johan Jose Martinez Rangel, 22, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, are charged with capital murder in Jocelyn's death. The girl was strangled.bBoth suspects are being held on $10M bond.
Because of the girl’s age, both men were not eligible for the death penalty. However, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said last week that if sexual assault were found, that would make the case death penalty eligible, and the state would then be able to ask for no bond.
