Hearing Set for Officer Raymond Ramos Accused of Sexually Assaulting Woman

A hearing is set today for former San Antonio policeman Raymond Ramos. The 30-year-old is accused of sexually assaulting a woman he detained more than two years ago in a park.

According to investigators, the alleged incident happened in November 2007 just after 4 a.m. Police said Ramos who was on-duty and in uniform sexually assaulted the victim at Golden Park in the 7800 block of Somerset Road. He was indicted in the case in June 2008 for civil rights violation of a person in custody and sexual assault.

Ramos worked overnight at SAPD's south patrol office. He had been with the department for two years. His indictment came on the same day as two fellow officers in an unrelated incident. However, both cases involved women who claimed sexual misconduct against on duty policemen.

Ramos' hearing is set to heard before Judge Cathy Torres Stahl in district court 144 Tuesday morning. If convicted, the former officer faces more than 20 years in prison for both charges.

He is also being sued by the alleged victim. She filed suit against the Ramos, the City of San Antonio, SAPD and police Chief William McManus last month.
