“She shouldn’t have been granted bail for she may be recruiting more Chinese people to illegally enter Guam while she’s out [of jail],” Chrizzy Tenorio of Kagman said.
She said “without people knowing how she looks like, she might be offering massage jobs to people in order to earn money.”
“She is a criminal and the thought of a criminal out there is a threat to the community,” a resident of Garapan, Jason Castro, said.
U.S Assistant Attorney Eric O’ Malley said they will do everything to ensure that Cheng will not have close contact with witnesses in the case, but at least seven other residents of Kagman expressed their frustration with the court’s decision.
“I hope she won’t find a way to escape from her charges by going off island through the help of the authorities or the governor himself,” said a resident who declined to be identified.
Some Chinese workers interviewed by this reporter said they support Cheng.
“As Chinese people, we should be supporting each other in times of need,” said Sheryll Tiu, a waitress at Paseo de Marianas.
She said she, her family and friends who have been residing on island for almost 10 years now believe that Cheng will not do something harmful while out of jail.
On Jan. 8, while being held without bail at the Department of Corrections facility, Cheng was “transferred” by four corrections officers, including Commissioner Dolores Aldan, to the governor’s residence so she could massage him.
