GUILTY CA - Earl Buchanan for sex abuse, child 🤬🤬🤬🤬, Bloomington, 2006

[Jeana (DP)]

On Dr. Phil tonight, they're showing the case of a man whom his wife suspects has been "inappropriate" with their 15-year old daughter. They're also profiling another suspected pedophile. Its on here in Dallas at 9:00.

Bingo BP!

Very strange that his now 65 year old brother has never brought this to the attention of the LE but was aware of it all these years.

It just doesn't ring 'true', he just now says something after Earl was arrested, come on now

In my opinion if he had even been a little bit suspect of Earl he would have been astranged from him far beyond the two years he states.

This case will now involve both San Bernardino & Riverside counties and my hope is that they don't drop the ball and will persue investigation into this case.

Family often knows something is up for decades, usually because the family member preys on them first. But turning your brother in and revealing that you or your children have been sexually molested by a family member is a lot harder than simply severing contact and trying to stay the hell away from the family member in question. Traditionally that's how most families deal with their "funny uncles", especially when money is involved. My 1st husband had an uncle who was clearly, in retrospect, a classic fixated pedophile. I noticed that no one in the family allowed Uncle Rob to spend any time alone with the children, especially the boys. It was made clear that while the entire family seriously disliked the uncle, he was still allowed at family functions because the grandmother, who was a millionairess, would disown them if they spoke out against her favorite son. Luckily I never had children by that husband--who was adamant about not having kids. In aprt, I now suspect, because his own mother had fobbed him off on this uncle while he was a young boy.

I agree with some of what you've posted, BUT in this case this older brother was living there only three years ago!

I suspect the older brother might have also been the poorer brother, too. Hence his living there. Whatever happened, it was enough to make the older brother pull up stakes. I'm betting the stepdaughter is now grown, given this guy's age, and only recently disclosed to the family about the molestation. Turning in family to the police is pretty difficult to do, especially if other members of the family might turn against you. Molesters re pretty manipulative, too, and shameless in how they'll try and demonzie the person who speaks out. There were days i regretted ever speaking up and being willing to help the cops because i had to endure a lot of grief, including losing a job, friends, etc. Its easy to say "do the right thing" until you find yourself ostracized/punished for doing it.

SNIPS:

Except for a quick glance at his son sitting at the back of the courtroom, Earl Venton Buchanan, 62, showed little emotion during his brief court appearance before Magistrate Judge Peter C. Lewis.

Lewis declined to issue an order, telling Johnson it was something that would have to be brought up with U.S. District Judge Marilyn L. Huff in San Diego. Huff, who handles felony trials, is taking over the case.

Buchanan's adult son, who had driven six hours to get to the hearing and had spent an hour visiting his father at the Imperial County Jail on the weekend, declined to comment about the case.

A bail hearing scheduled for Tuesday did not occur, but the judge said Buchanan has the right to ask for one later.

• Buchanan, a retired contractor and real estate broker, was arrested July 3 after crossing into the United States from the U.S.-Mexico border at Calexico accompanied by a 5-year-old Banning boy who is not related to him. Border inspectors searched Buchanan's vehicle after he failed to provide documentation for the child and said he didn't know where the boy's parents were, according to a criminal complaint filed by an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

The U.S. attorney's office has said that Buchanan did not have consent from the boy's family to take him to Mexico.

Investigators have identified about 11 victims between 2 and 15 years old, ICE spokeswoman Lauren Mack said Monday. They are also pursuing leads in Arkansas, Arizona and Mexico, she said.

• If convicted of the federal charges, Buchanan could be sentenced to as long as 70 years in prison and fined $750,000. His next court appearance is scheduled Aug. 28 before Judge Huff.

Interesting that apparently he had no problem taking this young boy into Mexico, only returning was he asked for proper papers.
I hope that every victim of his sues him until he doesn't have a penny left to his name and he can find himself the victim once he is locked up in general population. Of course he'll have an even playing field there, unlike the 5 year old victims he chose.

This is how it normally is entering Baja, they don't check for fire arms either.

BUT, coming back across you are questioned by U.S. Border guards and the boy was Hispanic in appearance, so they wanted to see his papers.

When we traveled back and forth across the border with my daughters then teen girl friends we always carried a copy of their Birth Certificate, and a photo ID for them, much like a VISA.

If he did not have consent from the boy's family to take the child, then why weren't they filing a missing child report? Or did the perv just lie about where he was taking the boy? Either way, I wouldn't let a 60 YO man who was not a relative take my kids overnight.

Earl, now 62 has been taking kids all over the place, in and out of State/Country for years, including taking them with him to visit his relatives an was posted in the articles.

Eventually we will learn just how long this child has been traveling with Earl. To me it is obvious that the parents/parent willingly allowed their child to be in the company of Earl...........so NO missing child report would have been filed.

To the north of Buchanan Enterprise (which looks to have been dormant for a very long time) lives a young gal with several small children. They live in a run down shack of a house with no A/C, or screens on the windows. I'm curious to learn as to whether she was questioned or not, as I know the owner of the nursery next door to the south has been.

I think he had their permission to take him, just not out of the country. Meaning they knew he had the kid with him, so it wasn't a missing person situation sp there was no alert.

Exactly BGG!

As of yet it hasn't been released as to whether the child's parents/parent are living here legally, or otherwise.

Others who may have let their children stay with Earl may be afraid to come forward for this reason, and maybe even did it to gain entry themselves or for money.

There are going to be a lot of twists'n'turns in this case I guessing, and any of his family who knew of his actions and not coming forward are disgusting.

Investigation expands 9 more children linked to Buchanan



SNIP:Kidnapping charges against a Bloomington man accused of child molestation in a two-nation investigation have been called into question by a member of the accused man's family.

A relative said Thursday that Earl Venton Buchanan, 62, has traveled extensively with the 5-year-old Latino boy from Banning found on Buchanan's lap when he tried to cross the Mexican border July 3.

Federal officials have said Buchanan did not have the parents' permission to take the boy. The boy has not yet been returned to his parents and was still in the custody of Imperial County Child Protective Services in El Centro.

Buchanan has carted the child to Mexico several times over the years to visit the boy's grandparents in Mexico and brought the boy to Arkansas when he was only 11 months old, family said. Federal officials have said Buchanan did not have the parents' permission to take the boy. The boy has not yet been returned to his parents and was still in the custody of Imperial County Child Protective Services in El Centro.

Virginia Kice, spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, declined to say what Buchanan was doing in Mexico because of the ongoing investigation, only saying officials are "looking into past travel."
The case expanded Thursday when San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department officials announced they have identified nine local children who are believed to have been molested by Buchanan. Banning police are also joining the investigation, taking a second look at two child molestation allegations made in 2000 and 2001 by women living in Buchanan's rental properties.

The parents were allowing him to travel with their son from the time he was only 11 months old? They need to be charged too!

At this point they still have not realeased the information on the boys parents/parent.

I'm guessing the mother is here illegally and used her son as a pawn for a place to live.

BUT, much more will be revealed, and probaly won't until he appears in court next month.

Sadly, there are parents out there willing to pimp their children out for some kind of gain. I know one mother who did it so she could drive one of the cast members of Star Trek to the airport.

I should amend that to make it clear that the cast member from Star Trek was not involved. This was merely the "reward" the pedophile gave the mother of the child he was molesting.

Buchanan's hearing delayed

SAN DIEGO -- Earl Venton Buchanan shuffled into federal court Tuesday with downcast eyes, but he'll have to wait a little longer to plead his pedophile and child case before a judge.

It has been more than three months since the 62-year-old Bloomington man was arrested at the Calexico border crossing trying to re-enter the United States from Mexico with a 5-year-old Banning boy on his lap and an incriminating video in his van. It will be another month, Nov. 20, before Buchanan appears again before U.S. District Judge Marilyn Huff in downtown San Diego. His hearing was delayed Tuesday because the investigation is ongoing and more evidence is expected to be filed soon.

210 months this creep got. Big whoop. He's being charged though in another case coming up the road.

Miss Iz inspired me to look up some old cases here and see how our justice system sees fit to prosecute these monsters.

like Filly says "big whoop"...guess he coulda got less tho.

 

[Missizzy]

Filly--Thanks for updating us on this one. It had slipped my mind. This guy is totally classic. I've never related this story before but I think it's appropriate here. My father-in-law is a child rapist. He had a large family (my husband is the eldest son) and was a "fine upstanding man" in his church and community. He physically abused his boys and his wife (my husband left at 15) and sexually abused the girls from the time they were about 5 years old. He ruled his home with an iron fist. He was known for always helping out neighbors and strangers while ignoring the needs of his own family.

The man made my skin crawl when I met him and I was only 17. I knew about the physical abuse and his domineering nature and I steered far clear of him. It was several years later that the girls starting growing up and disclosing. It was a huge family scandal that included the man's own sisters and cousins. He'd started early I guess. My husband carries a lot of guilt as he feels he "should" have known. The adult sisters have each dealt with their pain in different ways.

Sadly, my mother-in-law was a very weak and vulnerable woman--extremely beaten down and totally dominated by her cruel husband. I loved her but we never spoke of "him". She passed away at the young age of 58. By this time the man had moved to the same small town my parents lived in. One day, my very sweet and tender Daddy called me and was very upset. He just didn't know what to do. He had been very supportive of our children during our trial but he was (he passed last year) of a generation that really didn't like to talk of these things. Anyway, he told me that he'd just seen "Rob" at the post office. My Dad knew all about the disclosures in that family so he's very cool to this man. He's also always avoided him as the man is disgustingly self-centered and constantly brags about all he's doing to help the poor through the local Knights of Columbus.

My Dad went on to tell me that "Rob" was in the company of two little (about 2 and 4 yrs. old) girls. "Rob" wanted to show them off to my Dad but my Dad asked a few too many questions and "Rob" left in a hurry. My Dad wanted to know if I knew who the children could be. I had no idea but you can believe the phones lit up across the country. Within two days, we had the Texas sheriff out at his house. It seems that he'd taken in a down on her luck young mom with THREE baby girls. The woman told the sheriff that "Rob" was so helpful and paid for everything for them. He'd told her that he missed his grandchildren terribly (yeah, because no one allowed him access!!) and he took the girls everywhere with him and had them call him Grandpa. He bought them fancy and frilly dresses and liked to dress them up.

The sheriff's office interviewed the entire family by phone and got the details. Within 24 hours the woman was out of the home and the girls were processed through the CAC. I'll never know if the girls were actually abused but I'm quite certain they were. Pedophiles NEVER stop. As one of my sisters-in-law (who is a nurse who works with rape victims, hmmm) told me, one of the girls was the exact age she was at the time of her first rape. When she fought back, her Dad hit her so hard he broke her eye socket. I was physically ill when I learned that. We'd never been very close before that day, but we forged a bond when she told me that. Her pain became so real to me.

I am so blessed to have had a Daddy who loved me and was tender and NEVER hurt me. He stepped outside of his comfort zone to call me that day. I always like to think that it was because of our trial and that he'd been educated in "grooming" tactics to know what he was seeing that day at the post office.

This horrible man (whom I haven't seen in about 10 years) is now married to another woman who has a disabled son. I've been assured by the local sheriff that he's closely watched. I loved it when the sheriff told me that he wouldn't be IN the jail but he'd be UNDER the jail, if he touched a child.

Pedophiles always find a way to access children and they never ever stop.
