SALINE CO.—A familiar juvenile face in Saline County has been involved in yet another alleged crime spree.
Aaron Rector, 16, is reported to have been involved in a series of alleged crimes involving vehicles—again—including setting one vehicle on fire, this somewhere in Saline County (we’re still getting the details).
As far as we can ascertain from initial reports, Rector, another juvenile, and two adults were in on the alleged spree. The others involved wrote out statements pinning Rector down to the alleged thefts, although Rector is telling authorities he was just ‘in the back seat’ when this was all going down, and that the others were the ones actually up to no good and committing the crimes. Reportedly, all involved were drinking, which just exacerbated things.

Rector was shipped back to Franklin County juvenile detention, where he’s spent the better part of the past several years and where, probably, he should be kept (juvenile detention…ANY juvenile detention up to and including IYC), since he can’t stop getting in trouble, whether he’s instigating it or whether he just gets drawn in. Regular readers will recall that Rector was involved in car thefts from more than a year ago, and at about that time, it was also learned that his older brother was the victim of an alleged sex predator (scroll down to the bottom of the page at the link)—his own stepmother, Maria Rector, 25, with whom it’s been alleged the older brother fathered one of her children, and maybe two. Rector finally entered a plea in her Saline County case regarding the matter (she was also charged in other counties, including White) and is currently in DOC for the next several years on the sex charge….all of which probably doesn’t make the young Aaron Rector feel any better about himself OR his brother.
Since Aaron is on parole from the 2012 incident, we’re hearing it’s likely he will be shipped to IYC. We should have more in the next print version, as it takes a while for these things to develop…so be sure you’re watching for it, and of course you can always get an online membership to read the e-Edition; sign up today!
