ICE Nabs Man Wanted for Child Rape

LONDON, Ky. — ICE special agents arrested a man May 4 who is wanted by Mexican authorities for raping a child in Mexico.

Alfredo Ramirez-Lagunes, 31, was identified by ICE agents at the Pulaski County Detention Center in Somerset, Ky., as part of the ICE Criminal Alien Program. Although he was using the alias of Paco Ruiz, the subject was positively identified as Alfredo Ramirez-Lagunes after extensive investigative work.

ICE agents were also able to establish that Ramirez-Lagunes had been previously deported under the alias of Marcos Ramirez. and was the same person who is the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by INTERPOL.

“These arrests reflect ICE’s commitment to protect children, society’s most important and vulnerable assets,” said ICE Chicago Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge Stan Travers.

This arrest is part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders and child sex traffickers. Since Operation Predator was launched in July 2003, ICE agents have arrested more than 5,500 individuals, including 11 in Kentucky.

ICE encourages the reporting of suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE. Investigators staff this hotline around the clock. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.
