looks like Jose A. Ruiz Vega has found a new home since according to his sentence that when he is released, he must maintain a full-time job...like he had a job now?

This sounds like my caseload. One baby-daddy, several baby-mamas, and everyone expected to get along. It rarely works out. The kids don't know how they are related to each other. We've got some households where the men flit from wife to wife all summer, then commit some crime to get a light jail sentence for the winter. If they get "work release," they spend their lunch breaks with one or another of the wives and make more babies.

Well, at least they are not on the internet pursuing teen-aged girls.

The judge is an idiot as it's only the first legal wife that matters unless they were divorced, any other "self titled wife" is really only a girl friend in the laws eyes.

"...told the judge Vega was a good, hard-working man who never got into trouble.

McFadden suggested the woman get help."

LMAO! I love it when a Judge spews the cold. hard TRUTH to someone. Yeah, he's a real sweetheart and such a good, hard-working man. I may be missing something here, but I truly doubt the "hard-working" part. He needed an interpreter at his hearing, so that means the loser cannot even speak the language. If he can't speak English, then HOW would he have a legitimate job???

This IS America. Speak English or GET OUT.

Hmmm... Nowhere in the article did I see ANY proof that he is or isn't an illegal.
