Obama-Appointed Judge Refuses to Give More Jail Time to Illegal Alien Who Raped Woman with Cerebral Palsy

A federal judge, appointed by former President Barack Obama, is refusing to add additional jail time to a criminal sentence for a seven-time deported illegal alien, convicted of raping and sodomizing a woman with cerebral palsy, for his repeated violation of federal immigration law.

U.S. District Judge Judith Levy, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in 2014 by Obama, recently ensured that 30-year-old illegal alien Edys Renan Membreno Diaz of Honduras would not have to spend another 19 months in prison for violating federal immigration law — a standard sentence for an illegal alien who was deported from the U.S. seven times.

Diaz first crossed the southern border in 2019 near El Centro, California, as detailed by the Detroit News‘s Robert Snell. From there, Diaz was arrested by federal agents and deported seven times from the U.S. before returning again, this time to Michigan.

In 2022, Diaz was arrested and later pleaded guilty to raping and sodomizing a woman with cerebral palsy and other disabilities in her apartment building. That year, Diaz was sentenced to six to 15 years in Michigan prison.

Earlier this year, Diaz pleaded guilty to repeatedly illegally re-entering the U.S. after being deported.

Though prosecutors said 19 months is typically the appropriate sentence for repeated illegal re-entry, Judge Levy disagreed at recent hearings, ultimately refusing to give Diaz any more jail time than what he already spent in federal custody.

As Snell reports, Levy went as far as to praise Diaz for illegally crossing the border several times, saying, “I commend you for supporting your family, for expressing your devotion to them and for working here in the United States in jobs that Americans apparently do not want to work in and certainly not for the wages that were undoubtedly abusive of your work for them.”

“I see … somebody who is stepping forward to take responsibility and to gain insight into what led you to commit that crime of sexual assault and this one of illegal reentry,” Levy told Diaz.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Detroit, Michigan, is now appealing Levy’s decision.

Without fail when I hear a federal judge is doing something incomprehensible, it’s an Obama or Biden appointee.

The evidence that transformed a Georgia man from hero to villain

On New Year’s Day 2021, investigators responded to a home invasion call from a residence in Canton, Georgia. At the scene, Morgan Metzer was found with her wrists zip tied, and bruising on her face.

Morgan Metzer said the intruder had a mask on to hide his identity.

Her ex-husband, Rod Metzer, told investigators he found her on the back porch and called 911.

A revealing search warrant

When questioned, Morgan Metzer told investigators she suspected the intruder was, in fact, her ex-husband.

Investigators executed a search warrant of Rod Metzer’s apartment and found a bag of zip ties along with a portion of a zip tie.

A perfect match

Investigators hoped to find out if the portion of the zip tie found in Rod Metzer’s apartment lined up with the zip ties on Morgan Metzer’s wrists. At the crime lab, they were able to confirm a match.

“7 Ways To Be Her Hero”

In Rod Metzer’s apartment, investigators also found the book “7 Ways To Be Her Hero.” Investigators believe this spoke to Rod Metzer’s motive.

Morgan Metzer had told investigators he had been trying to win her back.

Rod Metzer’s incriminating browsing history

Rod Metzer’s internet searches stood out to investigators, among them: “How to change the sound of your voice” and “How to get sympathy from your ex.”

A fake diagnosis

In his internet history was another alarming search: “Cancer letter from hospital.”

Rod Metzer had told Morgan Metzer the week before the attack that he had pancreatic cancer. Investigators found that Rod Metzer created a fake email account to create the cancer diagnosis letter he showed Morgan. Det. Dakota Lyvers confronted Rod Metzer about this. Rod Metzer did not answer Lyvers, instead he responded, “I don’t know if I should talk to you guys anymore. I’m starting to get a really bad feeling …”

A revealing barcode

Rod Metzer denied having zip ties in his home. Using a Lowe’s app on his phone, Sgt. Robert Haugh scanned the UPC code located on the zip tie bag and discovered they were carried by Lowe’s. After searching local transactions, investigators discovered Rod Metzer purchased the type of zip ties used to restrain Morgan Metzer with his debit card.

Lowe’s surveillance footage

Investigators obtained surveillance footage from Lowe’s which showed Rod Metzer purchasing the zip ties on Dec. 30 — about 36 hours before the attack.

“Overwhelming” evidence against Rod Metzer

Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Rachel Ashe said her team had more than enough evidence to prove Rod Metzer’s guilt. In her interview with “48 Hours,” she said, “This is a prosecutor’s dream” because the evidence was “overwhelming.”

Rod Metzer pleaded guilty to 14 counts related to Morgan Metzer’s attack and photos found on his phone that were considered an invasion of privacy. He was given a 70-year sentence — 25 years in prison followed by 45 years of probation.

A survivor’s story

Morgan Metzer says she is dedicated to helping women who find themselves in situations similar to her own. She is also focused on raising her children.

Former Sig Sauer Employee Indicted: Alleged Illegal Resale of Hundreds of Discounted Firearms

In a shocking case that’s sending ripples through New Hampshire’s firearms industry, a former Sig Sauer machinist faces federal charges for allegedly exploiting his employee discount to buy and resell hundreds of guns without a license. This story of alleged wire fraud and unlicensed gun dealing highlights the fine line between perks and peril in the world of weapon manufacturing. If you’re in the firearms community, a legal enthusiast, or just keeping tabs on NH news, this indictment raises big questions about employee ethics, online sales, and federal oversight.

Who Is Patrick Goulet?
At the center of this controversy is Patrick Goulet, a 34-year-old resident of Manchester, New Hampshire. Goulet worked as a machinist at Sig Sauer, the renowned firearms manufacturer based in Newington, NH – a company celebrated for its pistols, rifles, and contributions to law enforcement and military gear. His role gave him access to one of the industry’s sweetest perks: a steep employee discount on guns and accessories. But according to federal prosecutors, Goulet turned that benefit into a black-market side hustle.

Goulet was fired by Sig Sauer in 2023, though the company hasn’t publicly detailed the reasons – speculation points to these very allegations.

The Allegations: From Employee Perk to Unlicensed Gun Empire
The heart of the case? Goulet allegedly abused Sig Sauer’s employee discount program – designed for personal use only – to stockpile firearms at rock-bottom prices. Sig Sauer’s policy is crystal clear: employees cannot sell products bought with the discount or use it for personal profit. Undeterred, Goulet reportedly went further by using fellow co-workers’ names to snag even more discounted items, bypassing purchase limits.

From there, the scheme escalated: Goulet is accused of reselling several hundred guns to buyers across the U.S. without holding a required federal firearms dealer license. Platforms like Facebook served as his marketplace, where he’d connect with eager customers hunting for deals on Sig Sauer pistols and rifles. Payments? Handled swiftly via apps like Venmo, blurring the lines between casual e-commerce and illegal dealing.

This isn’t just a breach of company rules – it’s a federal crime. The U.S. Attorney’s Office emphasizes that such actions undermine the regulated firearms market and pose risks to public safety by skirting background checks and tracking requirements.

Key Timeline of the Alleged Scheme

To make sense of how this unfolded, here’s a quick breakdown:

Date/Period Event

• August 2021 Alleged illegal purchases and resales begin, per ATF investigation.
• 2023 Goulet fired by Sig Sauer amid growing suspicions.
• June 2024 Scheme allegedly wraps up.
• November 2024 Federal indictment unsealed in U.S. District Court.
• November 2025 Goulet pleads not guilty in initial appearance; released on conditions.

Federal Charges: Wire Fraud and Unlicensed Dealing Explained

Goulet faces serious federal heat:

Wire Fraud: For using electronic means (like Venmo and social media) to execute the alleged scam.
Firearms Violations: Specifically, dealing in guns without a license, which is a felony under the Gun Control Act.
Prosecutors pointed to four documented transactions as smoking guns (pun intended): sales of pistols and rifles to buyers in Washington, Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. These weren’t isolated flips – they were part of a pattern affecting hundreds of weapons nationwide.

If convicted, Goulet could face years in prison and hefty fines. As of his recent court appearance, he’s been ordered to surrender all firearms and ammo from his home and is out on bail pending trial. His attorney hasn’t commented yet, leaving the “not guilty” plea as his main defense so far.

The Investigation: ATF Steps In
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) led the probe, uncovering a web of online sales that spanned states. It’s a reminder of how digital trails – from Facebook posts to Venmo receipts – can unravel even savvy schemes. Sig Sauer cooperated fully, though the company has stayed mum publicly, letting the U.S. Attorney’s Office handle the narrative.

What’s Next in the Sig Sauer Gun Resale Scandal?
Goulet’s trial date hasn’t been set, but expect more twists – from co-worker testimonies to deeper dives into his sales logs. As New Hampshire news evolves, we’ll keep you posted on updates to this Sig Sauer employee scandal.

Former New Hampshire Police Officer Indicted for Receipt of Child Sexual Abuse Material

A Haverhill man was indicted for receipt of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

John Giarrusso, 49, a former Seabrook, N.H., police officer, was indicted on one count of receipt of child pornography. In August 2025, Giarrusso was arrested and charged by criminal complaint. He will be arraigned in federal court in Boston at a later date.

According to the charging documents, on or about Oct. 16, 2024 through Oct. 17, 2024 Giarrusso knowingly received video files that depict CSAM on Kik. The children in these videos appeared to be between approximately five to 11 years old.

The charge of receipt of child pornography provides for a sentence of at least five years and up to 20 years in prison, at least five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Michael J. Krol, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New England made the announcement today. Valuable assistance was provided by the Haverhill Police Department and Essex County District Attorney’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica L. Soto of the Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the DOJ’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit https://www.justice.gov/psc.

The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
