Assault suspect may have history of bullying victim

One of the suspects in a "cruel and sadistic" crime against a 21-year-old developmentally disabled man in the bathroom of a bowling alley in Shirley may have had a history of bullying the victim, police said.

Steven Rodriguez, 19, of Shirley, approached the victim outside the bowling alley Sunday evening and began picking on him, police said. The victim entered the AMF Shirley Lanes on the Green, off William Floyd Parkway, and was following by Rodriguez and another man, Michael Lunsford, 17, of Shirley.

Police said Lundsford held the victim down while Rodriguez sexually assaulted the victim with a metal toilet cleaning tool known as a plumbing snake. The tool, which is used to unclog drains, was forced into the worker's rectum and spun it several times, causing him severe pain, internal injury and bleeding, according to a police news release.

The defendents fled after the victim screamed, police said.

The snake was removed at Brookhaven Memorial Hospital and the victim was in stable condition Thursday, police said.

Police said Rodriguez knew the victim from when both were living at Sagamore Children's Psychiatric Center in Dix Hills, which police described as a home for mentally disabled and troubled children. Rodriguez may have had a history of bullying the victim while both were living at the center, police said.

1. Blackwater will want to recruit these guys as guards at Abu Ghrab

They'll do a fine job in the war on terror....

It's a shame to even think that this could happen.

2. Find the perp and do it to him.

Then maybe he'll stop doing it to others.

Forget 'cruel and unusual punishment', this is a 'cruel and unusual' crime. And the punishment damn well needs to fit it.

Damn savage animal...
