On Friday, Alexis Ramirez, 14, pleaded no contest to nine adult charges, including aggravated robbery, kidnapping and rape. When Butler County Judge Keith Spaeth accepted the guilty plea, Ramirez became the nation’s youngest convicted rapist.
Ramirez will be sentenced in October.
In March, Ramirez, appeared before Butler County Juvenile Court Judge Ronald Craft and heard that he will be tried as an adult for the alleged rape and robbery of a 64-year-old Liberty Township woman.
The victim’s family was in court for that proceeding and testified to the deterioration of the woman’s health since the particularly violent attack. They reported that she had simply lost her will to live. Barely eating and drinking.
Her son said: “All she wants to do is sit and stare out a window.”
According to detectives with the Butler County sheriff’s office, armed with a pellet rifle, Ramirez entered his victim’s home in the early morning hours of Jan. 11. He then demanded money, beat and raped the woman, finally forcing her to drive him to an ATM.
At Friday’s hearing, Dr. Kim Stookey, a forensic psychologist, described her meeting with Ramirez, and the troubling results of the tests she administered to the Mexican national.
Dr. Stookey diagnosed Ramirez as a high-risk sex offender, citing that he seems to be “fixated” on the sight of blood, even being aroused by it. She said his chances for rehabilitation are low, and gave her recommendation that his trial be moved to adult court.
Prosecutors also told the court about Ramirez’ disruptive behavior for the two months he had been incarcerated. In addition to being loud and confrontational, he has reportedly been sexually gratifying himself in public view.
In an earlier proceeding, a detective told the court of a rather sickening statement made by Ramirez, when he was arrested for the rape. Ramirez reportedly said: “Well, I guess you have to pay the price for having a little fun.”

This happened like , one year ago! why bringing up this news?
Because, you moron, it happens every single day in this Country!
We like good news! Anytime one of the bottom feeding invaders gets nailed, we glad to hear about it, since our President is such a failure at protecting our people from invaders!
Why on earth should the taxpayers pay for anything but the chemicals to put him to death! He should get the death penalty! He may as well have killed his victim, because her soul is simply giving up. Damn him! Yet, Obama wants MORE LIKE HIM in AZ! Please support deporting illegals in this Country! ALL OF THEM!
A perverse nationality.
What can one say that hasn't already been said. I understand that Mexican police are patrolling Staten Island to protect illegal alien Mexican citizens from violence. Were are la raza, lulac, etc., when we need them to speak out on crimes that illegal aliens commit against Americans?
Got something to say?
