Cops: Man Tortured Girlfriend over Facebook Post

 

(AP)  U.S. authorities say a California man jealous over a message on his girlfriend's Facebook page tortured and imprisoned her for four days while their children were in the house.

Kings County sheriff's deputies arrested 36-year-old Anthony Lozano at his Hanford home over the weekend on suspicion of false imprisonment, kidnapping, torture and other charges.

Sheriff's Cmdr. Dave Putnam tells The Hanford Sentinel that Lozano accused the 23-year-old victim of having an affair after he saw the Facebook message.

Lozano is suspected of grabbing the woman's hair, dragging her and threatening to kill her before choking her with a rope and a towel.

Putnam said the couple's child and another child belonging to the victim were in the house at the time.

Lozano remained in Kings County custody Monday evening on $725,000 bail. It was unknown if he had an attorney.

Let us not forget to look upon the boys father . Yes Boy! A real man doesn't get upset like this especially over a electronic conversation. He forgot that she is just in her early 20s not yet fully mature or mentally grown up.The malw alpha mentality handed down from father to son tends to be the rule of the day in many of these cases. However to break apart from that mentality sometimes takes years of therapy and recognition that many never receive or recognize in themselves.

Executed state inmate Gary Heidnik imprisoned women for sexual abuse and murder. As a homosexual misogynist, Gary believed that macabre terror intimidated society into recognizing his transsexual side.

So, this creep is 36 years old and knocks up a young girl... then tortures her? They probably started dating a year or so ago, so that would make her 20-21 and him 35-36. They are both sick. She fell for an older violent guy and got pregnant without any stable future. He's a creep who has an appetite for young girls. Get her counseling and lock him up for life.

Sadly, a lot of really nice women are attracted to evil men. It's common knowledge that a lot of male murderers on death row get marriage proposals from seemingly normal women. I'll never be able to understand why.

He'll probably get out on bail, then go kill her, the kids and himself. If he can't have her nobody can. To much male machismo.
