Babysitter charged with raping 7-year-old in 2015
Las Vegas police arrested a babysitter Sunday and charged him with raping a 7-year-old boy.
Felipe Ramirez, Jr., 36, offered to watch a woman’s children for several days in early 2015, according to arrest records obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Ramirez had acted as a babysitter for the northeast valley family while the mother sought medical treatment in another state.
During this time, Ramirez sexually assaulted the child twice a day for three days, the records show.
Ramirez faces charges of sexual assault and lewdness with a minor. He is being held without bail at the Clark County Detention Center.
