Before he was stabbed to death outside a Mississauga strip club, Luis Estrada-Lemmon was charged with sexually assaulting his alleged killer's kid sister. The 19-year-old victim was scheduled to appear in a Brampton courtroom in July to set a trial date for an alleged sexual assault against Katie Struc that is said to have taken place last summer.
Instead, the Sheridan College student, who was remembered as a "beautiful, kind and caring boy" by his devastated mother, was found stabbed to death in the back parking lot of Kennedy's Adult Club early Saturday. It didn't take long for police to sweep down on Michael James Struc, 23, and charge him with first-degree murder.
"My brother is not some crazy lunatic who stabbed a kid because of a bar fight," Katie Struc, 19, told the Sun in an e-mail yesterday. "My brother is a big brother who lost his mind over his little sister. A brother's love knows no bounds, and unfortunately my brother (allegedly) crossed the line."
FACEBOOK RIDDLED A Facebook group dedicated to Estrada-Lemmon has been riddled with comments about the alleged sexual assault, with some saying the young man got what he deserved and others pinning the blame of his death on Katie Struc. The allegations against Michael Struc haven't been proven in court, nor had Estrada-Lemmon been found guilty of his charge. "It's disgusting, and sad, all of it. I'm receiving threats (bred) from ignorance, and directed in anger. People wanna say things to my brother and they can't, so they're saying it to me," Katie Struc said. "Only I know and Luis knows what happened that night."
Katie Struc alleged that Estrada-Lemmon -- a high school classmate and former "good friend" -- was high on ecstasy and "had been drinking all night" when he allegedly pinned her hands down and tried to have sex with her July 17, 2007. Court records show the Crown attorney elected to proceed with the case by indictment and Estrada-Lemmon's preliminary hearing was to begin this September. "All I could do was beg for him to stop. As soon as I could, I hit him, and that's when he stopped. I told him to leave, and he did," she said. Struc filed a police report, spent the morning in the hospital undergoing tests, and handed over her bed sheets and clothes as evidence. But she didn't tell her older brother, she said. "It wasn't until Luis started telling people I was 'accusing him' that word hit the streets," she said. "My brother told me when he found out (in January) that this was his worst nightmare," she said. "He had no intention of hurting Luis, because when I talked to him I told him I'd much rather have him in my life for the next 20 years than behind bars, and thought he had moved on. "My brother has the biggest heart, and loves his family more than anything, and this is why this happened." Struc said her brother was at a bakery with Eric Jacome, 24, who has since been charged with accessory after the fact to murder, around 10:30 p.m. on Friday "and everything seemed okay."
