Rosamond man pleads to attempted kidnapping of teen

by •

Guillermo Ceniceros [LASD booking photo]LOS ANGELES – A Kern County man entered a no contest plea Monday for attempting to kidnap and rape a 13-year-old girl who was seated at a Santa Clarita bus bench last year, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Guillermo Lomelí Ceniceros, 40, of Rosamond pleaded no contest to one count of attempted kidnapping to commit rape.

He was immediately sentenced to seven years in state prison and was ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, according to Deputy District Attorney Julie Kramer.

The case stems from an incident that occurred Nov. 12, 2014.

Ceniceros grabbed the young girl’s arm as she sat on a bus bench near Sierra Highway and Jakes Way, the prosecutor said. A good Samaritan driving by yelled at Ceniceros to stop when she saw him trying to abduct the young girl, the prosecutor added. At that point the girl was able to run away.

The witness kept an eye on Ceniceros and directed responding deputies to his location, Sheriff’s officials said previously.

Ceniceros had been living in a wash near Soledad Canyon and the 14 Freeway for a few months at the time of the crime, according to the District Attorney’s office.

The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Santa Clarita Station.

  1. How did this become about gun control? No guns no country. Nobody really knows what it’s like we are so used to no gun ordinances in the city and crazys who violate that. I also have been around thousands of responsible gun owners.
    Thank God they caught this guy.

  2. Seems like everyone strayed off topic and made this story into a forum for the pros and cons of the gun lobby. The fact of the matter is this, whoever the good Samaritan was, the fact is he stepped in. The question of was he carrying a gun is immaterial. I am glad to see someone get involved.

    • In his sick mind it was a win win situation. Get the 13 year old girl or get caught, plead no contest, move out of the wash and get three hots and a cot for seven years.

      • Amazing how that person intervened successfully without any apparent need to be packing a gun, isn’t it?

        Oh.

        Wait.

        Actually there are plenty of people who manage to be good humans without feeling the need for cold steel courage tucked in their belt.

        • I carry a gun, what are you trying to imply you liberal moron. You post on every single post and it’s always negative. You need a day job or something. Get a life, for real.

          • So does the cold steel courage account for you calling strangers names out of the blue, or is that just a keyboard warrior thing?

          • Hey, Flint

            Scan this.

            You sound like a Claire person who used to write the same things as you do, such as telling others to ignore us.

            But, they didn’t and now she’s gone. I doubt the userID ‘Flint’ will be seen hereabouts shortly since you’ve said you piece and have nothing more to contribute.

            BTW. Where is billandtimsbogusanswers? Are you the substitute scold this week?

        • Tim, the person may have had a gun on them. Not every incident requires it being pulled, aimed and fired. Most private citizen gun owners with concealed carry prefer not to pull out the gun as it means they intend to fire that weapon and the consequences it will bring to the receiver of the bullet. Case after case of that has been in the news with the loudest example being when a senator was shot in the head and the crowd of gun owners tackled the gunman.
          Illegal gun owners, criminals, might need that cold steel courage…

          • Understood Sensor. My point was that whether the guy had a gun or not made no difference. Just like the guys tackling the gunman…they did that because they are good citizens not because they were carrying guns. So when the gun lobby makes their usual pitch about how people carrying guns would deter crime, the evidence indicates it is not really relevant.
