SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (Reuters) - The former speaker of Puerto Rico's
House of Representatives was charged with rape on Thursday for an
alleged assault on a 17-year-old girl who visited his home last month.
In a hearing that lasted most of the day, a judge found probable cause
to arrest Edison Misla Aldarondo, a prominent member of the local
Republican Party, on charges of rape, corrupting a minor and supplying
drugs and alcohol to a minor.
Misla, 59, resigned his House seat in January after being indicted in
October by U.S. authorities in an influence-peddling scheme
surrounding the sale of a government hospital while he was House
speaker. Misla has been free on bail pending his trial on the federal
charges.
Also on Thursday, Justice Secretary Anabelle Rodriguez asked an
independent prosecutor to investigate allegations that Misla has been
molesting his step-daughter, also 17 and a friend of the alleged rape
victim, for the last eight years.
Misla is a familiar political figure in the U.S. territory of 4
million people, having served more than 20 years as a representative
for the San Juan district.
The 17-year-old girl alleged that Misla sexually assaulted her while
she was visiting his step-daughter, a high school friend, on July 15,
according to local news reports citing police and prosecution sources.
She told prosecutors that Misla gave them prescription drugs and
alcoholic beverages before the alleged attack, the reports said.
The step-daughter corroborated the girl's story and told prosecutors
her step-father had sexually molested her on several occasions over
the last eight years, the reports said.
Misla is just one in a long line of prominent public figures arrested
in various public corruption schemes. But the latest charges have
proved a shock to a public that has become used to seeing politicians
indicted.
``I don't believe there are words to express how we feel as Puerto
Ricans when faced with this,'' Gov. Sila Calderon said. ``We want this
to be cleared up as soon as possible, that justice is served and that
this never happens again.''
