MULBERRY, Fla. (WFLA) - An undocumented immigrant from Mexico was arrested on suspicion of sexual battery of a girl in Mulberry, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
Jesus Ramirez-Velasco, 31, was arrested Saturday and booked into the Polk County Jail, according to a news release.
Deputies began their investigation over the weekend when a 16-year-old victim came forward and said that Ramirez-Velasco had threatened to harm her mother if she didn't have sex with him again.
In mid-December, deputies said Ramirez-Velasco sexually battered the girl, then the two had sexual intercourse at least 19 more times. Ramirez allegedly confirmed this information and told detectives he knew it was a crime. Then he blamed the girl for initiating sexual contact with him, according to deputies. But the victim told investigators the first encounter happened against her will.
"A crime such as this against a child is heinous; to blame the victim for his behavior is appalling," said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.
He is charged with 20 counts of Sexual Battery of Custodian Victim over 12 (F-1).
Ramirez-Velasco was arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2008 and deported before he returned to the country illegally. Aside from his immigration status, he has no prior criminal history, deputies said.

Previously Deported Illegal Alien Accused of Raping Minor at Least 20 Times

A previously deported illegal alien is accused of forcing sex with an underage teenage girl at least 20 times in Polk County, Florida.
Jesus Ramirez-Velasco, a 31-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested and charged with 20 counts of sexual battery after the 16-year-old daughter of his girlfriend says he had sex with her at least 20 times, according to The Ledger.
Ramirez-Velasco allegedly started having sex with the teenager in December of 2017. Police say their investigation revealed that the illegal alien has had sex with the teen at least 20 times since then.
The victim told police that Ramirez-Velasco threatened to hurt her mom if she did not have sex with him. The illegal alien told police he knew he was breaking the law, but blamed the victim and claimed she asked him for sex.
“A crime such as this against a child is heinous,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a statement. “To blame the victim for his behavior is appalling.”
Ramirez-Velasco was first deported out of the United States in 2008 by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Sometime after being deported, Ramirez-Velasco re-entered the country illegally through the U.S.-Mexico border.
Polk County officials have notified ICE of Ramirez-Velasco’s arrest and charges. ICE now has a hold on the illegal alien so that should he be released, he will be taken into federal immigration custody and likely prosecuted and deported for the second time.
