VACAVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A 14-year-old Vacaville boy has been ordered to stand trial as an adult on charges of raping and stabbing a 13-year-old girl and attacking her toddler brother.

A Solano County judge ruled at the end of a preliminary hearing on Friday that there was sufficient evidence for Alexander Cervantes to face trial.

According to The Reporter of Vacaville, he is charged with attempted murder and rape among other counts. He has pleaded not guilty.

Police say Cervantes broke into the girl’s Vacaville home on Dec. 12, stabbed her 42 times and raped her and stabbed her 18-month-old brother. He then allegedly fell asleep at the home.

Cervantes was apparently acquainted with the victims’ 16-year-old brother, who was in Juvenile Hall during the attack.

According to police, Cervantes told the girl the attack was revenge for her brother snitching on someone.

    Lets give him the same, let the prison rape him and stab him 42 times.

  • dw

    No worries, if he hit the main line in prison the homies will kill him cause he is a rapist!!! He will either do his entire sentace in protective custody or the homies will take care of that P.O.S when they find out about him!!! poetic justice baby!

  • Bob

    I’m glad the girl and her brother lived. What a nightmare!

  • DW

    oh yea, and just to show you how stupid this cervantes is, think about it…criminals do have a code of conduct. They absolutely HATE snitches, childmolesters and RAPISTS!!!! This Cervantes dip s— thinks he is doing a payback for the girls brother who is a snitch, and he commits an act just as bad as the one he is paying back for??? Just shows you how stupid he is! There is no green light given by the shot callers in prison to commit this type of payback. If your a snitch your a SNITCH. If your a rapists/childmolester then you are THAT! That punk is sooooo done when he hits San Quentin! ROFLMAO…..

    Wonder whats been going on in his house lately?

    I always felt, with this girl’s older brother in juvie, that this was gang related.
    He will spend the first few years in juvie, then his 18th birthday present will be a van ride to prison. Raping a girl and stabbing a baby will definately get him a lovely welcome. I give him maybe one week after he hits there.

  • Gone for good

    NOT GUILTY! What a joke he is done

  • scopedope

    Send him to Texas for trial so he can be executed there. It’ll never happen in this F’d up liberal State governed by the ACLU!

  • jojodog

    I’m sure he’s a nice boy. Jesus says to forgive is devine.

  • The_Truth

    My god have people ignored the obvious question, what is wrong with todays society when a 14 year old kid is doing this kind of messed up stuff?

  • Don

    Society is not to blame for this P.O.S.! HE ALONE IS TO BLAME! The wood chipper sounds good to me!

  • Jamie

    I don’t know what’s more appalling. The fact that a fourteen year old boy could commit such horrifying acts or the fact that he did it simply out of revenge? I can only hope that she and her baby brother have a safe recovery, but I don’t imagine she’ll be able to recover from the emotional trauma he left her with…

    @The_Truth, Today’s society’s pretty messed up, that’s true, but his actions can’t be blamed on society alone, nor his parents’ either. A person can be brought up in a great society and family and still commit horrifying acts like this one. When, Where, or How doesn’t necessarily matter when it comes to the human mind. (But that’s just my opinion.)

    At the age of only 14 he has committed a gang like crime and caused permanent emotional injury and horrible physical injury to another. Parents, whatever you do, keep and eye on your children and who they are with. If you have to track them down and drag them home every night of the week, do it! If you need to knock on doors to find where and who your children and with, do it. Don’t let your children associate with anyone until you have met and approved of their surroundings.

    Wow, 14 years old and your life is basically over. You know it and I know it, that when he gets into that prison, he will be killed. Only a question of time. But, it does sound like both family’s are low on the totem pole. trying to be nice here.

    laurie209, has a point though…. Keep track of your damn kids… Know where they are at all times, and who they are with… I am sorry, but most family’s now days do not know how to bring up children. I am glad that I will be dead and gone with these kids end up raising family’s of their own. Now, those kids will be totally messed up. And running the Country.

    My parents knew my every move until the age of about 17. They respected my privacy, and let me make my choices and of course some mistakes… But, they stepped in when they thought that I was going to make a very wrong choice, but still, the choice was to be mine to make. They just pointed out different options for me, and left me to make the choice.

    This gang stuff needs to be stopped. And if parents took charge of their kids like they are supposed to, then this gang stuff would be gone… Can you imagine??? No gangs to deal with??? We need to clean up our streets, and put these creeps in their cages and be done with them and get back to some decent living…

    I know how much you enjoy having that crack house right down the street from you, but don’t you think that it would be much better if there was no crack house in your neighborhood??? Really???

    The parents are to blame….. The parents are to blame….. The parents are to blame….. The parents are to blame….. The parents are to blame…..

  • cat

    I don’t care what kind of parents he has , anyone who could stab a toddler is a demon and should never be allowed in society again .

    Sighs..still looking for intelligent comments instead of the profanity-laced comments and speculation from people thinking that watching prison drama gives them the expert references to make what they think is an intelligent comment. The Kings will make the playoffs sooner than i witnessing a coherent well-thought out response to this senseless crime.

  • gillgurl

    This kid was messed up long before this attack and how no one saw this earlier doesn’t suprise me. I worked with kids like him in a continuation school half of them were sex offenders. They think they know everything, that they are bigger and badder than the next person. It’s that hood, ghetto mentality that has been unfortunately going on for many generations in both Black and Hispanic communities. Most of these kids don’t have a great start at life and it just spirals downhill, because there is absolutely no intervention for the parents or the kids. No education, poverty, drugs and worse plagues these kids, it’s tragic, but no excuse for hurting innocent people. With more of these throw away children out there, we are pretty doomed to more incidents of random violence unless some strategic intervention is in place. It’s sad that we are so consumed with the Kings this and the Kings that, that we forget what really matters. The Kings and the Maloofs are a multi million dollar establishment. They will continue to make millions, while young people continue to die senselessly. You would think that with that much money and time somebody in that line up would start a humanitarian effort to help our young people, not just infrequent basketball camps for kids. If I had as much money as these millionaires, I would do just that, help children. All these superstars and all thier millions especially these rappers and teen superstars, they should be doing their part in giving back and helping children so that these stories can be lessened. Whether this young man goes to prison, won’t make much difference the damage is done someone is a victim and someone is going to be a convict. This is real life, not crime shows and movies like OZ, Training Day, and American Me this is real life violence and death that continues to go on long after the credits stop.

    Safe bet the other inmates will get a hold of him.

  • 1964

    What he did to that poor girl and her little brother is nothing compared to what’s going to happen to him in prison. He’ll learn what payback really is.

  • 1964

    They don’t execute you for rape in Texas. It has nothing to do with whether or not you’re a liberal or a union member.

  • Suzanne

    I feel so sad for the sister and brother. The physical and emotional scars that they will have will last far longer than the trial. I shudder to think that this is the world I’m bringing my future child into.

    And to think that the kid did this for revenge????! Are you kidding me?! I am soo glad that he’s being tried as an adult. He obviously knew what he was doing. And I agree with the other post, 14 years old and your life is OVER. Hope it was “worth it” you stupid, stupid, vile kid!

  • phil

    you deserve a slow death

    “Dear kindly judge your honor,its not my fault my parents!…with all there marijuana they wouldnt give me a puff–they didnt want to have me–but somehow i was had–glory osky! ….THATS WHY IAM SO BAD!”
    “THE SOCIAL WORKER says i got a “social disease!”
    “… there is good there is good–there is umpteen good–inside the worst of us is GOOD!” (ha ha ha)
    “My mother wears a mustache, my father wears a dress, officer krumke–thats why Iam a mess!”
    ok–thats the best i can remember from the gang song in “westside story” how long ago was that? ages! have things gotten better?will they ever?
    take God out of everything–and what you get is this mess!
    now take “in God we trust ” off the money, and make all the atheists happy–and you will get more of THIS MESS!
    what is a CONSCIENCE? where does it come from? how does one turn it off?
    and why would someone want to turn it off?
    life is NOT a game–it is a serious thing–you cant just say “game over”
    it is LIFE and it is DEATH and it is everything in the middle–but it is NOT a game.
    so much violence begets more and more violence–and if the mind says “this isnt real” then it will continue to do what it wants to do–no matter who gets hurt or how or why–
    violence makes no sense–what is the reward of it that makes the violent person continue this life style?
    ever hear of satan? ever hear of demons?
    satan gives a reward of a type–and this is what makes it continue–like a snowball going downhill–it doesnt stop until it hits the bottom.
    when we all bottom out–someone will look up and say “GOD HELP ME”
    and HE WILL.
    but He wont until we call out–nice and loud and strong–and all together
    are you ready YET?
    iam.

  • JJ

    How can a kid that attacks a kid be charged as an adult? where is the adult in any of this?

  • C C 1965

    Are you aware that this is connected to the double homicide that happened a week prior to this??

  • amlo

    JJ As far as I understand it depends on the crime, evidence, and competency of the juvenile to charge as an adult. It makes sense to me. The child will probably do time as a juvenile, and charged as an adult, will move to prison once he turns 18 to finish his sentence. Hopefully this kid never sees the light of day for attempted murder. Disgusting.

  • Matt

    JJ: A 14 year old stabs a girl 42 times, rapes her, stabs her 18 month old brother, tells the girl he did it because her brother snitched in juvenile hall and you’re worried about him being tried as an adult??? What is wrong with YOU?

    It is an adult crime. Apparently the Judge feels it is necessary to try him as an adult. You don’t diagnose a kid as a psycho path.. which there is nothing we can do for him, but lock him up in an institution.

  • Ginger Reese

    He does an adult crime, he does the adult time. He said he did it for revenge. He should be in prison NOT the kids jail. Where are his parents? Didn’t they teach him right from wrong.
