Nicaraguan migrant, 40, who has been deported from the US FIVE TIMES is jailed for 19 years for raping developmentally disabled Ohio woman – and then claiming he was ‘possessed by a demon’

A Nicaraguan migrant deported from the United States “five times” will receive a 19-year prison sentence for raping a developmentally disabled Ohio woman, claiming he was “possessed by a demon.”

German Mathews, 40, pleaded guilty last month to rape, assault and kidnapping and was sentenced Wednesday in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court for the brutal crime.

Mathews approached the 44-year-old woman with special needs as she walked to a bus stop in Forest Park near Winton Road and Smiley Avenue on April 29 while on her way to work.

The attacker grabbed the victim and threw her off a hill into a wooded area, where he sexually assaulted and battered her until she was beaten and bloodied.

A person who witnessed the horrific act called 911. When police arrived, Matthews was still on top of the victim. As he tried to flee, police chased him and he was arrested shortly afterwards Cincinnati researcher reported.

Forest Park Police Sergeant Jackie Dreyer said the woman was beaten so viciously that Mathew's hands were “covered in the victim's blood.”

Forest Park Police Sargent Jackie Dreyer said the woman was beaten so viciously that Mathew's hands were “covered in the victim's blood” and called him an “animal predator whose actions are beyond description.”

Mathew's lawyer, James Bogen, told Judge Alison Hatheway that his client had come to the country undocumented from his native Nicaragua to escape poverty. He said his client had no memory of the attack and said “he was shocked” when he was shown the officer's bodycam video and “felt terrible about what he did.”

The victim survived but suffered multiple head wounds and facial fractures.

Dreyer, outraged by the attack, called Matthews an “animal predator whose actions are beyond words” as he “preyed on an innocent victim.”

She described the incident as one of “the most heinous crimes she has ever investigated” in her more than two decades in law enforcement.

Mathews was in the United States illegally at the time of the April attack and is expected to be deported, despite having been deported and re-entered the country five more times.

Depending on his behavior in prison, the state prison system could hold him for another five and a half years.

His lawyer, James Bogen, told Judge Alison Hatheway that his client had come to the country from his native Nicaragua without papers to escape poverty.

On the day of the attack, he said his client had stolen alcohol from a nearby supermarket and was drunk.

He said that, based on post-examination, Mathews was likely in a state of “alcohol-induced psychosis.”

Bogen said his client had no memory of the attack and said “he was shocked” when he was shown the officer's bodycam video and said he “felt terrible about what he did.”

He claimed that his actions at the time stemmed from the fact that he was “possessed by a demon.”

In court, Bogen told the judge that the man who attacked the stranger “is not the German Mathews you see here today.”

Mathews is also called Hernan Mateos.
