The “Beast” Pleads Guilty
An illegal alien, living in West New York, NJ, has pleaded guilty to repeatedly raping his teenage daughter over several years and ordering her to throw her two newborn babies he fathered down an air shaft.
DNA tests showed the man fathered both babies, a girl, who was killed in 2003 and a boy, who survived, born in 2005. The baby boy was found by police at the bottom of an air shaft with a fractured skull. When authorities returned to the scene as part of their investigation, they found the mummified remains of the baby girl.

The 45-year-old man has pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter, aggravated assault and two counts of aggravated sexual assault and is expected to serve up to 35 years, said Mike D'Andrea, an assistant Hudson County prosecutor.The Jersey Journal calls the father, Jose Ventura, a ‘beast’. The beast’s lawyer describes Ventura's mental capacity as "primitive." No excuses. He was smart enough to make his way to New Jersey from El Salvador.
Officials say the man had a sexual relationship with his daughter beginning when she moved from El Salvador at age 13 in 2000, D'Andrea said.
The father ordered his daughter to throw the babies down the shaft, and threatened to kill her and her mother if she did not, D'Andrea said.
The defendant, who is also from El Salvador and is in this country illegally, could be deported back to that country after completing his sentence, authorities said.
The daughter has also pleaded guilty to reckless manslaughter and aggravated assault, and she faces a maximum of seven years in prison, he said.
