According to the Levy County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO), the LCSO Criminal Investigations Division conducted an investigation into an incident that was initially reported by two teenage girls to the University of Florida Child Protection Team. The LCSO described the incident as, "A two day drug and alcohol fueled, sexually abusive situation at a motel in Fanning Springs," a town located in Levy County, Florida.
Detectives learned through the accounts of the victims that the two juvenile girls met Mr. Ramirez in Newberry, Florida on May 6, 2022. The girls told investigators that Ramirez took them to a motel in Fanning Springs (Levy County), Florida, where he supplied them with drugs and alcohol and forced them to have sex with him.
LCSO detectives located evidence that confirmed the statements of the victims, and armed with this evidence, detectives requested a warrant for the arrest of Ramirez. The sexual battery warrant was issued for Ramrez, with his bond assigned at $450,000.
On June 2, 2022, Ramirez was located at an apartment complex in Gainesville (Alachua County), Florida. He was placed under arrest by detectives with the LCSO and agents with the United States Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force. Ramirez was transported to the Alachua County Jail in Gainesville, Florida, where he will remain until he is transported to the Levy County Detention Bureau in Bronson, Florida, to be held pending his trial or posting bond.
