[REVIEWJOURNAL] Las Vegas police jugged
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
 a man Sunday after receiving reports of a sexual assault on the side of a central valley road.

Police found a dead woman at the scene and arrested Joseph G. Martinez, 57, on one count of unlawful sexual penetration of a dead body.

According to his arrest report, police arrived about 4:30 p.m. at 2140 W. Charleston Blvd., which is located near a church. Officers arrested Martinez shortly after arriving.

The dead woman appeared to be homeless and had no identification on her, according to the arrest report.

Martinez is being held at Clark County Detention Center without bail. He told police he had met the woman the night before, but she later died.

According to the arrest report, a coroner investigator determined the woman had died two to four hours before the incident.

The Clark County coroner’s office had not determined her cause of death as of Thursday. She was 35, according to the office.

#7  "... unlawful penetration of a dead body."

Is there such a thing as lawful penetration of a dead body in Nevada?

#5  His defense might be "I didn't think she was dead yet."

#2  The police acted stupidly. They took one look at the suspect's brown skin, or his last name, or the unfortunate circumstance of his raping a stiff... and immediately jumped to the conclusion that he must be guilty, when, in fact, he was obviously just a patriotic corpsman rendering aid to a fellow American. Thank you for reading. That'll be, um, $32,500, pro-rated. Eid mubarak and God bless America!

#1  Just so we're clear, this is problematic because she was dead and not because they did it in public, right?
