Gary Robert Young
Chandler PD


CHANDLER, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -- A man has been arrested for a Chandler sexual assault that occurred more than 25 years ago.
On November 8, 1991, a young woman was kidnapped at gunpoint and sexually assaulted at an apartment complex near Dobson and Frye roads.
The police report gives the grim details of the crime. Police say that after the suspect forced his way into the woman's apartment, he held her at gunpoint before he bound, gagged and blindfolded her. He then reportedly cut off her clothes with scissors. The police report states that the suspect then assaulted her for two hours before releasing her. Police also say he videotaped the acts.

At the time, a composite sketch was released and evidence was collected but no arrests were made.

Phoenix police assist Chandler police with cold case arrest.

Isn’t that way after the statute of limitations ran out? Also, looks like he’s mid kiss

That keen mind of yours at work @caitierig ! Good catch and question!

In Arizona, there is no statute of limitations for murder or violent sexual assault -- meaning, someone may be prosecuted for these types of offenses regardless of whether the crime was committed one year ago or forty years ago. Other felonies generally carry a seven-year statute of limitations.

In Arizona (as well as neighboring California), crimes involving public money or public records have no statutes of limitation. For comparison's sake, Colorado's treason statute also has no statute of limitations.

statute of limitations are divided into federal and state categories.

One more damning tidbit for Mr. Young:

Acts During Which Statute Does Not Run

Absent from state or no reasonably ascertainable residence in state; identity not known

Good to know! Kind of sad that there’s a statute on rape, but if you get beaten during the commission of a rape then there isn’t one.

 

[Blunderbuss Firozabad]

I think a case could be made that all rapes are violent?
That small bit at the end, that a statutes time is not ticking if the perpetrator flees the state, or their identity is unknown, is a rather clever loophole that favors the prosecution (the People).

That mugshot is laughably awful. I really want to see the composite sketch.

Young? He doesn't look it!

He looks like one of those apple people you make in school.. like his face melted a good two inches down over time.

The crime is horrendous, glad they caught him. Holy crow's feet.

@Burke , I am here to satisfy your curiosity. Behold the many facets of Mr. Young:

This last one is just for @cubby A little fresher when he was dug up for this photo!

I vote Arizona sun, a shitload of drugs and lots and lots of cigarettes.

 

[Blunderbuss Firozabad]

Don't forget the rotten, snake-mean disposition!
I wonder if he lived alone? I can imagine he was a quick-tempered, surly, abusive sob that lived in his recliner, laughing loudly at racist jokes, threatening to shoot any damn immigrant who came on his property, stared at every woman's chest, and had some vicious untrained dogs who liked to bite people.
Probably slept on a bare mattress when he got off the stained lounger.

That’s some rough, hard living! A picture of a human raisin, shriveled and hardened by a harsh life of drugs, hate and regret!

Merely mentioning what every woman here is imagining...kissing an almost dead rapist. I don’t know about you, but I am beside myself for feminine wetness
