Jury Hands 25 Years to Abuse Convict | Austin News

A jury in Travis County just sentenced 36-year-old Samuel Ramirez to 25 years in prison for continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14 — a first-degree felony. The conviction followed a trial that wrapped up August 14, after victims’ sisters came forward in July 2022 with harrowing accounts. Ramirez, who lived with the girls during the abuse, initially spoke to police in January 2023 but denied the allegations. Charged in October 2024 with multiple counts including aggravated sexual assault, Ramirez now faces the full weight of justice as prosecutors commend law enforcement and emphasize their commitment to protecting victims and ensuring accountability. This sentence sends a powerful message: predators will not be tolerated. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
