Woman charged with enabling child abuse

A Norman woman is accused of knowing two girls were being sexually molested without reporting it.

Deborah K. Roth, also known as Deborah K. Bentley, 46, was charged Wednesday with permitting and enabling child abuse.

The children were placed in protective custody last April, and David S. Bentley, 44, was charged with three counts of attempted rape; rape by instrumentation; two counts of lewd and indecent acts with a child; and use of a computer to furnish pornography to a minor.

Bentley is incarcerated in the Rogers County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility in Claremore. His preliminary hearing on the charges is set for 9 a.m. Oct. 15 before Special Judge Rod Ring.

Police said testimony from the child victims indicates Roth knew the girls had been taken out of school and were being molested, but did nothing to report it.

Also Wednesday, two Oklahoma City brothers were charged with first-degree rape by force and fear, and warrants were issued for their arrests, requesting they be held on $250,000 bonds.

Manuel Adrian Juarez Jr., 21, and Carlos Hernandez Juarez, 29, are accused, along with two unknown males, of going to the 18-year-old victim's Moore residence Sunday and forcing her to have sexual intercourse against her will.

Other felonies filed recently include:

· Thomas Edward Brown, 32, Weatherford, Texas, knowingly concealing stolen property; and false declaration of ownership in a pawn;

· Dewayne Deon Graham, 31, Oklahoma City, omitting to provide for a child;

· Jack Edward Spector, 19, Norman, knowingly concealing stolen property.
