Acting Rockland County District Attorney Kevin Gilleece today announced that Luis Miguel Lopez- Ruiz of New Hempstead Road, Spring Valley, New York was sentenced to twelve years in state prison and twenty years post-release supervision on his May 2019 guilty plea to:
โข One count of Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child in the First Degree, a class โBโ Felony
โThis sentence imposed is more than deserved considering the frightening ordeal of sexual violence that went on for years,โ said District Attorney Gilleece. โThe defendant is a dangerous predator who destroyed a childโs innocence.โ
Between October 2014 and December 2018, Lopez-Ruiz had sexual relations with a child starting when the victim was less than 13-years-old. The repeated abuse, which took place in the Town of Ramapo, continued until the victim was 15-years-old.
The case was investigated by the Town of Ramapo Police Department with the assistance of the Special Victims Unit of the Rockland County District Attorneyโs Office.
Upon his release, Lopez-Ruiz must register as a sex offender under the provisions of Meganโs Law. The case was prosecuted by Senior Assistant District Attorney Stefanie A. Schera.
