8/12/2013 – OKC, OK — An Oklahoma City man accused of a horrific robbery and rape in a park on S. Robinson Ave. has pleaded guilty and been sentenced to life.
JohnTV first reported on the arrest of 21-year-old Bryant Hajaly Villalobos (18 at the time of the crime) back in March of this year.
According to court records, Villalobos approached four young men and a young woman late one night in April of 2010 in Draper Park – located at SW 37 and S. Robinson Ave. in south Oklahoma City.
Villalobos allegedly used a small pistol to rob all five of the people of everything they had on them.
Villalobos then allegedly did the unthinkable, he took the young woman to the playground area and repeatedly raped her at gun point while her boyfriend and three others felt powerless to do anything for fear the teenage girl would be killed.
Villalobos then reportedly fled to his home at 104 SW Grand Blvd., where he lived with his parents – which backs up to Draper Park and was only feet away from where the crime was committed.
Police responded to the scene and located the personal items stolen from the victims inside Villalobos’s residence. Villalobos then reportedly made a full confession.
In May of 2010 Villalobos was formally charged in Oklahoma County with 12 felonies ranging from robbery with a dangerous weapon to rape and forcible anal sodomy.
While in custody and awaiting trial, Villalobos picked up additional felony charges for possession of contraband in a penal institution.
On March 11, Villalobos pleaded guilty and sentencing was delayed until June.
On June 7, Villalobos was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
On June 17, Villalobos formerly attempted to withdraw his guilty plea – seems he didn’t like his sentence and was regretting not taking a previous plea deal that would have had him serve only about 15 years in prison.
On July 8, Oklahoma County Judge Ray Elliot denied Villalobos’ motion to withdraw his guilty plea.
The park where this 2010 rape and robbery occurred is also a Oklahoma City Police Department P.A.L. headquarters (Police Athletic League) and known for the regular appearance of prostitutes, pimps and lewd activity.
* Note: This crime does not have any apparent connection to prostitution, but is being reported because JohnTV highlights criminal activity in the S. Robinson area – an area known for prostitution, trafficking and violence against women.
