An illegal immigrant was sentenced today in Chesapeake Circuit Court to a year in prison for having sex with a 13-year-old girl and producing nude images of the child.
Carlos De La Cruz Ramos, fomerly of the 3700 block of S. Military Highway in Chesapeake, was arrested in May after a Wal-Mart store clerk processed film he had dropped off that showed images of a nude child, police said. Ramos was convicted in August of producing child pornography and carnal knowledge, both felonies carrying maximum punishments of 10 years in prison.
Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney David Whitted said Ramos was 19 when he committed the crime.
Judge E. Preston Grissom sentenced Ramos to five years with four years suspended on each conviction. His prison time will run together, meaning Ramos will serve an active sentence of one year behind bars. Grissom also ordered that Ramos, upon his release from prison, be turned over to federal authorities for deportation. Grissom ordered that Ramos register as a sex offender in the event he is not deported. If he ever returned to the United States, it would be a violation of his suspended sentence.
With the aid of an interpreter, Ramos stood in court today and responded "no" when asked if he had anything to say. Ramos, who has a sixth-grade education, has been in jail since his arrest March 8.
"The defendant enticed the victim in this particular offense to have sexual intercourse with him in her home," Whitted said, noting that Ramos also took pictures of the girl.
A clerk at the Wal-Mart on Grassfield Parkway alerted police after processing the pictures. When Ramos arrived at the store to pick up the pictures, police questioned him. Ramos said he had been dating the girl, police said.
During an investigation, police discovered that Ramos was in the country illegally. Prosecutors said he was here from Mexico.
The victim was not present for the sentencing. The child's mother has said that she was unaware of any sexual activity between her child and Ramos, police said. The girl admitted to a relationship.

You, they would lock up and throw away the key...
“The childs mother has said that she was unaware of any sexual activity between her child and Ramos, police said. The girl admitted to a relationship.
It was rape, not a relationship.”
I doubt if the 13 yo said “relationship”
That is someones spin/interpretation of her “he said he loved me...I love him... We’re in love..” etc...But apparently she described their physical activity...
She gets an “A” in Sex Ed class...Cant read but passed the important classes...
Yuk it up Lindsey... no nos olvidamos... NO LOS OLVIDAMOS!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
13 yo daughter....”Mom” doesnt know whats happening in HER OWN HOUSE?
Nope, doesnt fly...I made it my business to know what my 13 yo daughter was doing, in my house and out of it...regardless of the PC Police...Mom and Dad are responsible to keep tabs on the kids...
I would know if a grown man was was dating my daughter ... and visiting my daughter in my house ...and having sex with my daughter in my house...
WHERE WAS MOM WHEN THE RAPIST WAS IN THE HOUSE?
At 19, my friends and I all knew that "fifteen will get you 20".
Except that it didn't ... in this case. Bloody well should have, though. Pervy little freak was takin' pictures ...
“... Im going to enjoy what Bill O does to this judge. “
Oh, yeah! BOR was my first thought when I read this.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he claims its a “cultural thing”.”
I believe the age of consent in Mexico is 13.
Couldn’t believe that it could be that low so I looked it up. If varies by state but can be as low as 12 or as high as 18 (based on difference in age).
12 are they joking, it sounds like paradise for those wishing to follow in the footsteps of mohammad.
Just sick. He probably will claim that he is following mexican law as he doesn’t fall under U.S. jurisdiction since he is illegal.
‘in the event he is not deported’
I was going to say amazing, but I’m not surprised anymore.
Lucky for me I would never do such a thing.
One must suspect the mother was being ‘serviced’.
Great idea, and unfortunately, it has come to this.
Wonder if he was “Mommy’s” boyfriend?
You and me both.
Bttt!

Where was/is Dad?
