This tragic story reminds us all how even the smallest self-defenses like locking your doors, can make all the difference. Castro-Miranda, 39, broke by coming in through an open door, then raped and robbed his victim. This sicko actually told police that entered the house through an unlocked door and then had "normal" sex. This whole issue may have been avoided if she had just locked her door!
It only takes a second to check if your doors are locked. Is that really to hard to make sure you and your loved ones are that much safer? Whenever my family goes in or out of the house I ask them to lock the doors. They sometimes complain because it is a hassle especially if they have something in their hands, but I remind them of sad stories like this and then there is no more complaints.
Don't make it easier for your attacker, take the quick moment it takes everyday to always make sure your doors are locked!
Train, Defend, and Live!

SALT LAKE CITY -- A 39-year-old Salt Lake City man has been charged with rape after police say he entered a woman's home, choked her and forced her to have sexual intercourse.
According to charges filed Wednesday in 3rd District Court, the female victim was startled Sunday to find Henry Castro-Miranda standing in her bedroom. It's unclear whether the woman knew Castro-Miranda, though charges state he did not have her permission to be in the home.
When the woman ordered Castro-Miranda to leave, he "became enraged" and told the woman, "You are going to make love," the charges state.
The woman told police that Castro-Miranda threw her on the bed, choked and then raped her, according to the charges. Castro-Miranda told police he had entered the home through an unlocked door and had engaged in "normal sex," the charges state.
Castro-Miranda has been charged with one count each of rape and aggravated burglary, both first-degree felonies; and aggravated assault, a third-degree felony. He is being held on $100,000 bail.
