The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed charges of assault and sexual misconduct, both misdemeanors against a Neosho man today.
According to the probable cause statement, Rafael Garcia-Nolasco (DOB 1999) committed the crimes at a Neosho restaurant, though the name of the restaurant was redacted.
From the probable cause statement:
On 11/4/2025, one victim stated Garcia recently grabbed her by her hips pulled her "towards his {sex organ}," and then kissed her on the neck. Garcia frequently refers to {her} as "my love or mi amor."While in the walk-in cooler, Garcia leaned in and hugged another victim,. before kissing her shoulder. Garcia began calling her "mi amor."
A victim stated Garcia would come up behind her, hug her from behind, and then reach around and feel her legs.
Another victim, stated Garcia would poke her in the side and would try to trap her in the freezer while calling her his ''wife." Garcia would also blow kisses at her and pull the clips out of her hair.
Another victim, stated Garcia repeatedly touches the waitresses against their will and refuses to stop when asked. {She} confirmed Garcia pokes, grabs, and kisses waitresses noting the freezer was a location where this frequently occurred due to lack of people and cameras.
Based on the consistent, detailed statements from five different victims, there is probable cause to believe that Rafael Garcia repeatedly subjected these individuals to non-consensual sexual contact, including touching the hips/legs, forceful hugging, and kissing, often while using sexually suggestive language and without the victims' consent.
Garcia was taken into custody at the restaurant and transported to the Newton County Sheriff's Office Jail, where he was also held on an ICE Detainer.

ReplyDeleteHere you go - all the leftist liberal democrats, who allowed Joe Biden to let in to America 10-12 Million Illegal Aliens and now feel sorry for them as we try to clean up the messes left to us as these Illegal Aliens - who many were Cartel members, Murderers, Drug Dealers, Criminals, and Human Traffickers - who were given Free Passage to Sanctuary Cities and given Free Housing, Free Food, Free Medical, Free Education, Free Monthly Stipends, Free Jobs, Free Everything, living off the hardworking Taxpayers - WHEN OH WHEN - WILL YOU DEMOCRATS EVER LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND - THAT THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW. Probably Never - Sometimes people are just Blind to the Truth and Facts.
ReplyDelete7:10 am - are you really so naive that you don’t realize that this happens to women every single day everywhere by American born men??? It has and does occur constantly and by (gasp!!) both republican and democrat men!!! Though by my personal experience it was by way more republican men through my young young age and continued throughout my life. By the way I’m now in my 60’s. Quit be so ignorant!! Please get your blinders off and get off your Fox News. Venture outside and open your eyes. You’ve obviously been asleep for way too long!!! Or is it easier to just blame any immigrant for any problem? Of course it’s just locker room banter, boys being boys, right???
DeleteYou are so proud of your comment, you feel the need to post that anonymously. Lol. 😂
DeleteThe same can be said for those here legally doing awful things. It sounds like this case is being handled appropriately. Release the Epstein Files.

DeleteDear Anonymous,
DeleteYes, you are correct.
Just think about how many fewer assaults against children and women there would be if these illegals from various foreign countries were not here.
If 20 US citizens commit a crime no one bats an eyelid but one migrant or illegal migrant commits a crime and the maga's go ape shit. trump sexually assaults numerous women and not a peep from the magas.... sad sad sad. Can we send trump back to Germany.. not that they want him.

DeleteHis 3rd wife Melanoma or whatever her name is can go back too!
DeleteI wonder how they were able to get ICE to act in this area?
ReplyDeleteThey’ve always been here. I’ve known that for years. One of their directors was from the big city of Ritchey.
DeleteThey’ve been here a long time. One of their main people was from Ritchey. And no, I won’t give out his name as he’s now retired. And probably glad if it.
DeleteI'm a local here in neosho and I'm shocked! I went here a while ago, the waitresses were constantly asking if we were doing alright, I noticed they all seemed uncomfortable but I didn't think anything about it. I have a friend closely related to one of the waitresses and she talked about how her sister was talking something about ICE being at the new Italian restaurant that opened where pizza hut was. I can believe that this happened but I'm also shocked that it did happen with somewhere that I was familiar with.
