Feb 14, 2011 – HOUSTON — A Comcast worker has been accused of raping a 14-year-old girl. Jose Torres was charged with aggravated assault of a child. Investigators said Torres visited the family’s home last summer to try to sell them cable service. The victim told police that two nights later, Torres came back, broke into her family’s trailer and put a knife to her throat while she was sleeping. The girl’s mother asked her ‘Why didn’t you call out?’” She said her daughter replied, “because he said he would kill everyone and me.”
Jose Torres -Accused Comcast Rapist
Torres left a business card with the family last summer. The girl later identified Torres from a photo spread. A KPRC reporter called the number on the card Monday afternoon and was able to speak to Torres. He told the reporter that he has been cooperating with police and suggested the charge is a case of mistaken identity.
A spokesman for Comcast said Torres worked for one of the company’s contractors. They said he passed a criminal background check before he was hired. He was fired shortly after police opened an investigation.
Comcast issued the following statement: “We are horrified by these very serious allegations and have been cooperating with the authorities since their investigation began. Upon hearing of this incident, we immediately removed Mr. Torres from working on our behalf.”
OK folks, so here’s the deal. We’ve seen a number of other Comcast manufactured criminal that have been well documented on this site. If we use the same set of standards that Comcast uses to hire employees and/or contractors, then we would have to say “Sorry Comcast, but you do not pass MY background check” YOU ARE FIRED! Where there is smoke there is fire as they say.
I firmly believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty and this is not an indictment of Mr. Torres. This is purely an indictment of Comcast via clear evidence that they have no regard for their customers or the community at large. If Comcast is using contractors to send individuals to your home, then do they really know who these people are? DO THEY EVEN CARE? Obviously NOT.
Jose is innocent, it’s a shame you are assumed guilty until proven innocent in this country. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet or hear on the news, because they don’t have half the truth.

Thanks Christina,
I hope you are right about Jose. I would hate to hear that COMCAST has turned another human being into a MONSTER.

Hello, I actually met this guy and he claims to be innocent…. When we hear something bad about someone or something we just believe those rumors. We dont care or bother to investigate the other side of the story!! I actually met this guy and to me he is innocent till proven guilty by the law. How many times do we have an opinion of something or someone we don’t even know… We have to hear both of the stories to make our own judgement. Why is it that we only know the victims side of the story and not the allege raper??? Does he not have the right to speak out and plead his case??? I guess not..in our minds he is a rapper since everyone is saying he is guilty.

Hi Yesica, I agree with everything you say. Too often people are put on trial in the media and our justice system isn’t given a chance to work. However, my point with this post is that it is COMCAST that puts the general public at risk. They use contractors and essentially wash their hands of any culpability. This is WRONG and it SHOULD BE where the media focuses their attention. Unfortunately, a MUG SHOT of an alleged rapist makes for better ratings.

DNA cleared him today!!! Now let’s see if the news airs this, probably not since it wouldn’t be “big news”. Screw all the news channels!
