10 supporters are talking about petitions related to Repeat Offender!
We are across from San Lorenzo park and the surrounding 2 mile radius is a warzone of screaming, fighting, using, overdosing, littering and all the problems that prop 36 addresses. We watch what happens and seeing people cited who never show up, know there will be no consequences and continue to reoffend while on bail or OR. Please do your job and help instead of handcuff the police.
As a born and raised Santa Cruz resident, I can say that this city, in my lifetime, has never been so ridden with crime from dangerous drug addicts. Tax paying citizens should be heard and taken care of instead of nurturing transient criminals.
While walking back from the store, with my daughter, we walk past a man defecating along side the walking path we often take when running errands. He attempted to have a conversation with us as we walked by. I feel powerless over the safety of myself and my family.
The criminal activity in Santa Cruz county has been out of control the last decade but especially in the last 5 years. Drug use/sales, theft, property crime, public indecency and public nuisance crimes are all the norm now but what really motivated me to sign this petition is the case of Jeremy Anecito who has been arrested for felony domestic violence and false imprisonment 3 times within 6 MONTHS and once for hit and run attempted murder. Each of these arrests resulted in additional probation and ZERO JAIL TIME. This monster has never even seen the inside of a jail cell. The Santa Cruz DA and local justices should be absolutely ashamed of themselves and all removed from their positions for their pathetic “attempts” at serving justice in this case. Are they waiting for him to kill this poor woman before putting him in jail?! Her death will be their fault if he does which is only a matter of time if nothing is done as he’s made it clear he has no problem violating his probation and restraining orders.
I am dealing with the the results of the “catch and release” criminal system we have: my garage was broken into and bike was stolen. SCPD caught the thief (with help from sec cam footage) red-handed. He is a frequent felony flyer with 13 felony court cases in 12 years. Averages 5 arrests per year. Has been seen by 14 different judges. If things continue it’s only a matter of time before someone (innocent victim, the career criminal or LEO) gets injured. Or worse.
I grew up on Hatteras Island and my family still lives there. Although I’ve moved a few hours inland, Hatteras will always be home. If there’s one thing Dare County PD and Dare County judges will make sure someone stays locked up behind is drugs. Why is the protection of our children not punished more severely? This is one sick individual who needs to be locked away for a very long time before he harms another child. Some of those drug sentences may be victimless but sexual abuse is NEVER victimless. He is a PREDATOR and is a danger to the community who does not deserve to see the light of day. If whichever judge who sentences him doesn’t give him a maximum sentence, all locals will find out and let it be very known where that judge stands. Children are OFF LIMITS, KEEP THEM SAFE!!
As a past resident of Cape Hatteras Island (for over 30 years) I am appalled by how the court system has handled Grandy’s cases! He is a predator & it’s evident that he belongs out of the general public & in prison (that he’s belonged there for many, many years)! Do NOW what you’ve failed to do in the past & protect our children!
I was a victim of child rape from the age of 3 to 13. I grew up in moyock. I was raped for 10 years at the house 223 Baxter Ln, Moyock, 27958. The mother figure abused me and told me I was a whore trying to steal her man. He started when I was 3 and finally got caught when I was 13 and charged when I was 15. He'll be out of prison by the time I'm 30 on the dot, and as for the woman or mother figure, her name is Wendy Sue Starboard, she lives at the above address and got let out for free by taking a plea deal. She knew about the abuse from the start and allowed it. My rapist name is Mark Lee Turner.
I am the mother of Victim #2. I didn't know what to do when I was told something had happened and my daughter had in some which way been violated. I waited, thought about it, then my daughter started voicing concerns that maybe we didn't believe her or were not taking it seriously...... So I took her to a therapist, Ms. Elizabeth Hoffmier * OUR ANGEL* She gave me 48 hrs to call the cops or she would. " Your daughter has definitely been molested" I was floored, my soul ripped out and a few pieces of me died that day!!! I myself had a history with Grandy, I never in a million years thought he would do anything to MY daughter. After all, we had a bond. Now mind you,I was underage but circumstances were different. Me and a couple other close friends( 16 +)somehow ended up partying at his house, given alcohol, cocaine, whatever. He always has a sexual nature about him but I thought we had more than that. I went Skydiving 6 or more times, under 18, with him. We talked about everything, surely that all meant something, right??? It sure as hell didn't mean he would be given the right to molest my First Born. I have never spoken out about this matter, or my past relationship with Grandy. I genuinely considered him a friend, but I also knew how he was with girls, women. I figured at least most were old enough to make their own decisions, like myself at 16 or 17. Boy was I wrong and I HATE MYSELF for allowing my daughter to go anywhere near him, even to Babysit. My heart was broken twice, MOSTLY FOR MY DAUGHTER, she is an Angel, my BABY GIRL, but also for the special friendship I thought I had with someone I had so much fun with and so many late night talks about life. I will NEVER forgive myself, I should of known better but HE SHOULD OF BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL HIMSELF around BABIES their age trying to Babysit his sweet kids. WOW. Anyone that has anything to say about what I just shared with the world, can contact me directly. This is MY STORY TO TELL AND I REMAINED SILENT FOR SO LONG, I FELT THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO SAY IT, FEEL IT, AND LET IT GO. LOCK IT AWAY WITH HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE, IN A JUST WORLD!!! HE DESTROYED SO MANY, MY TIRES WERE SLASHED NY HIS FOLLOWERS, MY DAUGHTER WAS CALLED A SLUT,A LIAR,.... AT 14 yrs old. So like I said I'm another post, I'm glad the community finally woke up cause we didn't have the support of anyone. All we had was each other and we all still feel the scars from the actions of a VERY SICK MAN with a following of prominent community members. Thank you for letting me get this off my chest. Remember, the backstory was just to show how messed up he is.. We are stronger today because of it but not without our mental health issues and therapist bills. I never thought it would happen to MY CHILD. Be vigilant Mommas! Keep him locked up permanently this time!!! Thank you 🤟
Enough is enough with these child predators. I was the victim of a predator when I was on school grounds in elementary school and it has forever changed my life. Trust issues, anxiety, you name it- it forever changes a child. Obviously rehabilitation is rare as this man is still committing crimes. Make him an example as you strengthen the laws!
