And… The perp was recently released from prison, after numerous prior arrests.
The Long Island native, who now lives in Gwinnett County, was released from the Gwinnett jail in late August after serving six months for simple battery and three counts of probation violation.
Slater has six other arrests in Gwinnett dating back to 2008, according to jail records.

The very first time I was called up for jury duty, it was for a home invasion. I was familiar with the case because it took place in the town where I worked. The resident was able to free herself and give a description of the getaway car. A high-speed chase ensued just as I was leaving for my evening commute, and it was total madness. This was 5 minutes over the GW bridge in one of the mostly densely populated areas on planet earth.
I was rejected as juror because I had a family member who was a superior officer in law enforcement. I continued to follow the case in the papers with interest. Home invasion, high-speed chase which put a lot of innocent people in harm's way. The media made it out like the police were foolish to pursue and apprehend the perp, who, BTW, was an illegal crimmigrant from a Communist nation where the populace was de-armed decades ago.
You know, one of those Utopian places where violent acts supposedly never happen. Not like *their* gubbermint-owned media doesn't suppress free speech, human rights, or deny ingrained cultural violence resulting from oppression.
Anyway, it came out in later in court that the piece-of-shit perp didn't just break into the home to steal their stuff, he tied grandma to a chair, and raped her 11-year-old granddaughter right in front of her on the living room rug.
Most home invasion rapes are never reported in the news, to protect the victims, especially when minors are involved. There are more than enough instances of home invaders maiming/torturing/killing family pets just for the sheer pleasure of it, too.
The media would have us believe these lovelies just knock on random doors asking to borrow a cuppa' sugar to bake a birthday cake while wielding a frikkin' crowbar. Should the resident just sit back and say, "Please, have a go at my babies, too" ?
