Man who was convicted of sexual crimes that were released after 19 years in prison is in ice custody

Arapahoe County, Colorado – a Saudi man who is a convicted sex offender and spent almost two decades in prison at the beginning of this week and is now in the care of immigration and customs authorities. It is expected to be deported.

The 56-year-old Homaidan Al-Turki was sentenced as a sex slave in 2006 for crimes in connection with the attitude of his housekeeper born in Indonesians and repeatedly bothered them between 2000 and 2004.

Al-Turki was investigated in connection with the murder of Tom Clements, the executive director of Colorado Department of Corrections, in connection with the murder of Tom Clements from 2013, according to our partners of Denver Post.

  • The chief researcher of Denver7, Tony Kovaleski, spoke to the deputy district prosecutor Ryan Brackley about the case. Take a look at his report in the video player below:

The Saudi man who was convicted of a sex slave after 19 years in prison now in ice custody

Clements was shot by Evan Ebel at his door on March 19, 2013. EBEL was associated with the 211 crew, a white supremacist prison gang from which the investigators were of the opinion that they could have planned the assassination attempt. A few days later, EBEL was killed in a shootout with the authorities in Texas.

Al-Turki competed in the planning of the murder.

Al-Turki submitted several applications to the court, including a recently claimed that his defense lawyer had not adequately represented him in court.

Before a judge in Arapahoe County decided on this application, he accepted a resolution in which Al-Turki was guilty of eleven amended charges. He was immediately six years in prison and a mandatory probation that was already covered by his 19 -year prison years.

Ryan Brackley, deputy district prosecutor of the 18th judge, spoke exclusively with the investigation of Denver7 on Thursday and said that it was a “very, very difficult decision” to change the indictment against al-turki. Ultimately, he said Al-Turki was held accountable.

“His crimes were outrageous,” said Brackley. “He essentially held a young woman in his house and sexually harassed her.”

In 2006, Al-Turki was convicted in 18 cases, including incorrect detention, illegal sexual contact, extortion and theft. He was sentenced to life in prison for six years and was first entitled to probation in 2011. However, he did not take part in the sex offender treatment program of the Department of Corrections.

According to the public prosecutor, the judgment of 2006 is intact according to the public prosecutor.

Al-Turki kept his innocence in relation to his crimes and previously explained that he was targeted because of his Muslim religion after the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Brackley said he understands whether there are people in the community who are dissatisfied with this decision. Ultimately, he said Al-Turki was held accountable.

“There are always people in our community who are not satisfied with decisions in one way or another,” said Brackley. “It was a difficult decision. We had to reconcile all interests in the first place. Today we know that Mr. Al-Turki was removed a sex offender and he was removed from our country after properly after serving a 19-year sentence.”
