At the time of the October 2023 rape, Miguel Sanchez was out on unsecured bail for another, similar case in Montgomery County, court records show.
Bucks County Court Judge Stephen Corr called Miguel Sanchez a "despicable person" for raping an teenage girl he met on Snapchat.
Miguel Sanchez, 33, entered a no-contest plea to rape and trafficking for the crime, which took place in October in the parking of a Giant in Quakertown. Sanchez did not admit guilt, but did not dispute the facts of the case outlined by prosecutors.As part of his plea, Sanchez was ruled to be a sexually violent predator and will be under supervision as a registered sex offender.
In handing down the sentence, Bucks County Court Judge Stephen Corr called Sanchez “a despicable person” and condemned his crime.The victim told investigators Sanchez had befriended her over Snapchat, and often asked her for explicit videos and photos, according to the affidavit of probable cause for his arrest. The two had met in person once before, but planned to meet again at the grocery store.
On June 22, 2022, a woman Sanchez had met on the dating app Grindr agreed to meet him at a Wendy’s in Pottstown, according to the affidavit for his arrest in that case. There, Sanchez groped the woman in the backseat of his car and grabbed her neck and wrists as she tried to get out of the vehicle, the affidavit said. The woman was able to open the door and call for help before Sanchez pushed her out and drove away.
