YOUNGSTOWN - A convicted sex offender found living in Mahoning County is scheduled to enter a guilty plea in federal court for illegally re-entering the United States.

According to a court document filed Monday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Baudilio Ramos plans to plead guilty before a U.S. Magistrate Judge.

Ramos, 65, was indicted by a federal grand jury in March on a charge of illegal re-entry after deportation. The investigation into Ramos began after the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office received a tip regarding his status as a sex offender.

A criminal complaint detailed that Ramos admitted to entering the U.S. in 1990 on a commercial visa. He confessed to molesting a child, for which he served two and a half years in prison before being deported to Guatemala.

Ramos told investigators that after approximately 10 months, he paid smugglers $3,000 to help him return to the U.S., crossing the Rio Grande from Matamoros, Mexico, into Texas. He then traveled to Houston and later to the Youngstown area, where he had been living for about two years before his arrest. Ramos acknowledged that he did not have permission to re-enter the country.

As of Tuesday, Ramos was still in the Mahoning County Justice Center where he has been jailed since his arrest on February 11.
