Mike Luis Rios
Rape, pimping and pandering involving six victims, including two underage girls, were among the charges levied against a Southern California school board member Wednesday, according to the Riverside County district attorney.
Mike Luis Rios, 42, was arrested without incident shortly before 6 p.m. Wednesday and charged with 11 felonies, John Hall, spokesman for Riverside County district attorney, wrote in a statement released Wednesday.
Rios, a board member of the Moreno Valley Unified School District, was charged with six counts of pandering – or trying to get someone to work as a prostitute, three counts of pimping and two counts of rape by force or force, Hall wrote. The rape victims are adults.
Investigators said Rios used promises of jobs or favors as a way to try to get women to work for him.

In one case, Rios told a woman that he was a member of the district school board and asked if she needed a job, while another woman answered an online ad for a job, Hall wrote.
This is the second case pending against Rios, who was charged with two counts of attempted murder in February after allegedly firing a gun at two people outside his home.

Bet the voters are proud of this choice.
I can't even begin to explain how sickened I am over people who behave this way. I truly hope that the victims of his sick crimes take every last dime this man has and then get to see him rot in jail.
This guy's primary problem would appear to be his lack of drive and ambition. With his obvious criminal aptitude and skills there's no reason for him to be satisfied serving on a local school board, when clearly he has the right stuff for serving in Congress!
I bet $1000 he lived in California? lol
Congratulations Einstein! The article is titled, "California School Board Member Mike Luis Rios accused of pimiping,rape". I wonder how you deduced that he lives in California. Thanks for putting your picture by your name.. Explains a lot... LOL
Hehe Nick. yes, it is so nice to see such persuasive evicpdence that they still teach reading comprehension in our great nation's schools... despite the obvious depravity of some of our school board members.
I think Don has a good shot at making detective this year.
Just another community organizer doing his thing.....
You're a simple human being.
Is that meant to be a dig at our President Bill?
That kind of shows up your lack of brain power. This man is an elected school board member. A horse of a different color, oh wait, color IS the issue with you isn't it?
poor margaret,
are you trolling or does the truth hit home with a guilty concience? i didnt see Nobama the Clown mentioned anywhere in his comment, so what is it if i may ask?
Mossdog, ignorance isn't cute. Try education and common sense.
Wha? Wha? What? wait, all this AND he is being investigated for attempted murder? WTF? With all of these issues in California's school system I can only imagine what is going on in the other 49 states.
I have definitely learned over the past 6 months or so that California is NOT the state to be sending your kids to school to unless you want them molested... what do you expect from our porn capital though
Extremely poorly written article.
", was charged with six counts of pandering – or trying to get someone to work as a prostitute,"
According to Wikipedia, pandering is:
"Pandering is the act of expressing one's views in accordance with the likes of a group to which one is attempting to appeal."
and
"and two counts of rape by force or force,"
Huh??
For definitions of words like "pander", you might want to consult a dictionary rather than Wikipedia.
and
"and two counts of rape by force or force,"
Huh??
one is brute strength and the other master Yoda taught him :D
His name sounds Latino
AND?
What does "stinkleton" say about you?
I just said it sounded Latino. What else are you looking for? Stop race baiting....it's ugly.
'Stinkleton', your simple post said "His name sounds Latino" .. which is completely irrelevant to the story and therefore was intended to incite. Then you accuse another of "race baiting" for calling you out on your pointedly racist intent!
I'm curious. Are you serious and you do not see your own racist intent in that post? Or are you simply ignorant of the definitions of racism?
Ignorance, in-and-of-itself, is not shameful. Willful ignorance, however, is both shameful and pathetic.
Pimpin' ain't easy!
It is if your pimp hand is strong LOL...
Wow. I'm speechless.
Riverside, enough said
Pimpin ain't easy
Not for that big slob! You can do it if you got some swagger. He looks disgusting.
Back to the article though, it's a damn shame that he was still able to keep his job after having attempted murder charges pending against him. Shouldn't he have been placed on leave or something?
Nonsense! Pimpins easy thanks to Craigslist ;)
Anyone see a story on MSNBC about current developments in Trayvon Martin case since NBC was caught editing the 911 tape ??
I think everyone has decided to wait for the trial and finally get the truth. Wow, go figure.
I haven't heard anything new about the Trayvon Martin incident for, oh say, twenty minutes or so
...thanks for keeping us apprised of all the latest developments
Now here is the 24 million dollar question. Is he an illegal? No one said so I thought I would ask.
Why would that even be a question? Why wold that be in someones mind?
Another one of America's finest.
Any questions on why this country is in decline?
Most people are unhappy with themselves and have no respect for anybody or anything.
Pimpin' ain't easy...yo.
I wonder if he was a "caucasian hispanic" or just "hispanic"?? The media seems to like to stress race these days.
Where is the MSM on this one?
It's off to prison for you, Mr. Rios, where you'll no doubt find out what it is like to be raped. I hope your cellmate finds you attractive.
I find it amazing that so many people are proud of themselves for being openly ignorant. It's not cute, and it's detrimental to the future of our nation. How can anyone be proud of a nation that prides itself on ignorance? Your behavior is a display of your biased views and lack of education. To argue or deny this reality will only prove the validity of my point. I really feel sorry for those of you who are nothing more than stupid, immature clowns.
California dreaming.
