Minnesota Mexican convicted of raping girlfriend's twin 4-year-old girls, giving them STD: report

A Minnesota man was convicted Tuesday of raping his then 
girlfriend’s four-year-old twin daughters and giving them a 
sexually transmitted disease, according to a report.

Arturo Macarro Gutierrez, 36, was arrested in October 2018 after 
one of the girls told her grandmother her "daddy” hurt her, the 
Pioneer Press reported. The girl was taken to the hospital where 
she tested positive for gonorrhea.

Gutierrez was arrested after a SWAT team found him hiding in an 
attic at a home in St. Paul.

He denied raping the four-year-old but was charged after he 
tested positive for gonorrhea as well. He was subsequently 
charged with assaulting the girl's sister when she also tested 
positive for the disease.

Gutierrez was convicted on four counts of criminal sexual 
misconduct.

His defense has not commented on the verdict.

“Cases involving sexual assault of young children pose 
significant barriers since they do not possess the language to 
describe the acts, may not understand that the abuse was wrong, 
and are susceptible to intimidation and manipulation by the 
offender,” Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said in a statement, 
according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “This verdict is 
attributable to the tremendous courage of the young victims and 
the willingness of caring adults to believe them.”

Gutierrez is scheduled to be sentenced in April and Assistant 
Ramsey County Attorney Dawn R. Bakst plans to request a longer 
sentence than state guidelines call for,  according to the 
Pioneer Press.
