Members of the community of Benque Viejo Town continue to be outraged at the breach of trust by a local pharmacist, Cesar Mendez. He has been convicted indecent assault in the Benque Magistrate's Court.
A 12 year-old female minor reported to police that 2 times earlier this month, Mendez fondled her. As a result of her report, police arrested and charged him with aggravated assault of an indecent nature, and he was arraigned exactly a week ago.
He pleaded guilty to the charges and was fined a total of $500 by Magistrate Linbert Willis. But it would seem that the family of the victim is dissatisfied with that penalty, and they are considering if they have a right to appeal that sentence.
Of a minor note is that Cesar Mendez is the brother of PUP Orange Walk East Area Representative, Dr. Marco Tulio Mendez. He is also the owner of Wendy's Pharmacy, based in Benque Viejo.
