A Greenfield man sentenced for sexual assault of a girl

Monterey County District Attorney Dean D. Flippo announced on Tuesday, September 25 that 24-year-old Angel DeJesus Ramirez of Greenfield was sentenced to 3 years in the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) for 1 count of a lewd act upon a child for having sexual relations with a 13-year-old girl. The incident occurred on August 10, 2017 at the “green bridge” in the city of Greenfield. The defendant and the 13- year old victim had sexual relations in the defendant’s estranged wife’s car which Ramirez had stolen earlier that evening. In the early morning hours of August 10, 2017, a CHP officer observed the stolen car as it was being driven erratically by the defendant’s 18-year-old cousin. The defendant, who was a passenger in the rear seat with the victim, was determined to be on felony probation for domestic violence which included a no alcohol term. The CHP determined Ramirez’ blood alcohol level to be .18% at the time of the stop. Judge Mark E. Hood sentenced Ramirez to a consecutive 1 year term for the theft of the vehicle and another 1 year consecutive term for violating the terms of his felony probation for a total term of 5 years in the CDCR.
