Man receives sentence after plea deal in attempted rape case involving young victim
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — A man who was arrested last fall on a warrant from Mahoning County for attempted rape entered an Alford Plea on Thursday to a charge of gross sexual imposition in Common Pleas Court. Isaias Colon, 34, of Youngstown, was sentenced to five years in prison by Judge Anthony D'Apolito on the charge, a third-degree felony. The sentence was recommended by the attorneys in the case and adopted by the judge. An Alford Plea means a defendant maintains their innocence but acknowledges there is enough evidence for a jury to find them guilty. A grand jury on June 6 issued a secret indictment against Colon. One of the charges was attempted rape, which could have resulted in a sentence of 10 years to life in prison because the victim in the case is under 13. That charge was dropped in exchange for Colin's plea. Assistant Prosecutor Caitlyn Andrews said the victim in the case was six years old when the criminal conduct took place. Andrews said she explained to the victim's mother what the plea meant and that if she had gone to trial, the victim would have had to testify, and the victim's mother did not want that to happen. Andrews said the mother understood and agreed with the plea. In a statement, the victim's mother said her child will never be the same. 'What was taken from her can not be restored,' she said. 'She carries shame even though the shame is not hers.' 'I don't know if she'll ever feel normal again.' Defense attorney Joe Ohlin said his client still maintains his innocence but did not want to take the chance of a potential life sentence. Colon was singing 'God is good' and other songs with unintelligible lyrics before the judge came into court. At one point, he told the judge, 'God bless you' when Judge D'Apolito went over his rights with him. Through an interpreter, Colon said: 'Today looks cloudy, but tomorrow will be a better day.' Also through the interpreter, Colon said he was asking God to help the family and forgive them. In broken English, Colon said he lost his marriage and that he feels bad for his children. 'I never do nothing against my child.' Judge D'Apolito said that because there was no trial, no one may ever know what happened. 'If you did do it, then five years is not enough,' the judge said. Colon was not arrested until October, when he was found in Puerto Rico. He initially refused extradition back to Mahoning County, but he was eventually returned Dec. 6. Colon has been held without bond since his return from Puerto Rico. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

U-Haul Holding (NYSE:UHAL) sheds 6.8% this week, as yearly returns fall more in line with earnings growth
U-Haul Holding Company (NYSE:UHAL) shareholders have seen the share price descend 13% over the month. But that doesn't change the fact that shareholders have received really good returns over the last five years. It's fair to say most would be happy with 161% the gain in that time. Generally speaking the long term returns will give you a better idea of business quality than short periods can. Ultimately business performance will determine whether the stock price continues the positive long term trend. In light of the stock dropping 6.8% in the past week, we want to investigate the longer term story, and see if fundamentals have been the driver of the company's positive five-year return. Check out our latest analysis for U-Haul Holding In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price. Over half a decade, U-Haul Holding managed to grow its earnings per share at 6.9% a year. This EPS growth is lower than the 21% average annual increase in the share price. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it did five years ago. That's not necessarily surprising considering the five-year track record of earnings growth. You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values). This free interactive report on U-Haul Holding's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further. We've already covered U-Haul Holding's share price action, but we should also mention its total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR attempts to capture the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested) as well as any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings offered to shareholders. Its history of dividend payouts mean that U-Haul Holding's TSR of 164% over the last 5 years is better than the share price return. U-Haul Holding shareholders are down 1.3% for the year, but the market itself is up 12%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 21%, each year, over five years. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.

Bayern held at Union Berlin to leave title door ajar
Bayern Munich were held to a 1-1 draw at Union Berlin on Saturday, giving defending champions Bayer Leverkusen an outside chance of dragging themselves back into the Bundesliga title race. Bayern, who also dropped points in a surprise loss at home to Bochum last week, could be just six points ahead if Leverkusen win at Stuttgart on Sunday. Bayern had most of the ball but struggled to break through a resolute Union defence. With few chances in the opening period, Bayern's best chance came after 51 minutes when Harry Kane drilled a free-kick through the wall but into the palms of Frederik Ronnow. Leroy Sane put the visitors ahead after 75 minutes when he skated through a crowded penalty area to tap in a Josip Stanisic pass. Union were however the better team after the goal and the hosts levelled through Benedict Hollerbach, who was on the spot to take advantage of an error from rookie goalkeeper Jonas Urbig. Union rose in intensity in the dying stages but were unable to land the killer blow which would have seen them beat Bayern for the first time in their history, on their 12th attempt. Despite hovering dangerously close to the relegation spots for much of the season, Union have a strong record at home against the league's best sides. Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt, Mainz, Freiburg and now Bayern have all left Berlin without winning. Unlikely Champions League candidates Mainz and Freiburg drew 2-2 draw. Hosts Mainz, reduced to 10 men when Dominik Kohr saw red after 43 minutes, twice took the lead but Freiburg equalised both times. The result leaves Mainz third and Freiburg fifth, with neither side having ever played in the Champions League. An Alassane Plea hat-trick took Borussia Moenchengladbach to a 4-2 win at Werder Bremen, keeping the visitors on track for a return to European football. Plea's first-half brace had Gladbach on track but Bremen scored twice in seven minutes through Romano Schmid and Andre Silva, his first for the club, to level things up at half-time. Plea scored just two minutes into the second half and Germany striker Tim Kleindienst added another to seal the victory. Augsburg's impressive 2025 continued with a 1-0 home win over Wolfsburg, with Phillip Tietz scoring the only goal. Augsburg are now unbeaten in 10 in the league and have conceded just three goals this calendar year, the lowest mark in the top five European leagues. In Saturday's late game, RB Leipzig host Dortmund in a must-win game for either side's hopes of reaching next season's Champions League. dwi/mw
