According to the indictment, LOBO-RAMOS reentered the United States after being previously deported on April 10, 2018. If convicted, LOBO-RAMOS faces up to 2 years of imprisonment, 1 year of supervised release, up to a $250,000 fine and $100 mandatory special assessment fee. He also faces a sentencing enhancement of up to 20 years, because of a 2010 felony sexual battery conviction in Jefferson Parish.
U.S. Attorney Evans reiterated that an indictment is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
U.S. Attorney Evans praised the work of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and the Kenner Police Department in investigating this matter. Assistant United States Attorney Carter K.D. Guice, Jr. of the General Crimes Unit is in charge of the prosecution.
