KANSAS CITY —A jury this week convicted a Kansas man of the felony of Child Molestation involving a then-5-year-old child, according to Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker.

The jury convicted 29-year-old Gustavo Ramos of Child Molestation in the 1st Degree. The jury recommended a prison sentence of 17 years.

According to court records, an individual reported to Kansas City police in July 2020 that Ramos had been touching the child in a Kansas City residence. A forensic interview of the victim corroborated that the defendant had inappropriately touched the child's private parts. Other witnesses told police that the child had also disclosed to them the activity.

 A judge will sentence Ramos at a future hearing yet to be set.
