Today, Hemeregildo Gonzalez Ramos was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences for Lewd and Lascivious Molestation. He was convicted by a jury in February, following a trial in Lee County.
Assistant State Attorney Janesha Beckford and Assistant State Attorney Francine Donnorummo, Special Victims Unit Chief, prosecuted the case.
The case involves two child victims who were molested by the defendant between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2018. The defendant molested the children when they were in a pool at a home in Lehigh Acres and also molested a victim inside the home.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office began an investigation into the defendant after a child victim told an adult about what happened and that adult contacted law enforcement.
