ESCONDIDO ---- Six years after a rape that left some of her internal organs permanently damaged, Tammy Chavez called her attacker "a sadistic abusing pervert" at his sentencing Thursday afternoon.
"The physical pain you have caused has lasted this last six years and will never go away," she said in a voice that occasionally cracked with emotion and at times rose to a scream. "I have been in my own prison."
The man, Victor Navarro, pleaded guilty in late July to sodomy and rape using a foreign object.
The prolonged attack left Chavez "the most severely injured person I have ever heard of who lived," said Chuck Ryder, a marriage and family counselor who has worked extensively with Chavez and her husband.
Navarro was sentenced Thursday by Judge Aaron H. Katz to eight years in prison followed by deportation, said Deputy District Attorney Natalie Villaflor.
The addition of the sodomy charge allowed prosecutors to exceed the six-year maximum for convicted rapists without prior felony convictions. He will get credit for 5 1/2 months served since his arrest in April, Katz said.
Chavez said she wanted to give a statement to reclaim some of the dignity she said was stolen from her that night. She was accompanied by a victim's advocate.
In an approximately 10-minute speech, the woman graphically described her injuries as Navarro, sitting in a glass-enclosed defendant box in a blue jail uniform, scoffed at her words ---- read to him through an interpreter ---- with his head down.
Navarro, a resident of Mexico who rented a room from Chavez in her Mark Avenue home, raped Chavez the morning of June 17, 2002, according to police files.

What a disgusting animal. Hopefully his fellow inmates will have fun passing this dirtbag around.
I wonder what side of the illegal alien debate Tammy finds herself, after having been permanently damaged so savagely....her story is indeed heartbreaking.
She called him a what? He should sue. Don't you all think he should sue?
Where is La Raza when you need them?
What a pig and that poor woman will think of him every day. 8 years with time off for good behavior, maybe he will be there for 3 years? He will be going home...won't he?
The victim is obviously a racist. She injured herself in order to hide the fact .that she willingly allowed him to make love to herself. Her self hate for lusting after him just could not come to terms with what her body made her do. Disgusting...
No we don't need immigrants to pass back ground checks, we don't need biometrics, and no we don't need to be selective who we allow to cross our borders.

Animals like this one do not deserve a trial or a sentence. He should have been castrated, stripped of all clothing, and passed around every single male and female prison in America.
Whatever was left of him should have been dropped off on the Mexican side of the border.
JDubsmom you really can't mean that. We are all entitled to representation/ jury trial under the constitution...wait you said he was here illegally. Then pass his a$$ around.

Now Now pitbull, everyone rates a trial. Its the delayed punishments that are wrong. It should be carried out in a very timely manner and with all to consideration for the victim.
Okay men the rescently convicted will be arriving within the hour. Get in line for your free condoms. As you know we care about your health and incourage safe sex. He he tries to become violent that would prove he has no remourse or regret. We are depending on you to help to teach him the errors of his past life. And do try to remember don't break him to fast, your fellow inmates need to have their turn too.

I don't disagree with you - but I am truly wondering how Tammy feels about illegal aliens now.
