RICHMOND, Va. – A Chesterfield County man was sentenced today to one and a half years in prison for illegal reentry to the United States following removal after conviction for a felony violation.
“Defendant Segura-Virgen has shown a complete lack of respect for the laws of this country, the multiple women he has assaulted, and the sanctity of our borders,” said G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “This case represents an all too common scenario here in the Eastern District of Virginia. This is serious public safety issue that has the full attention of my office and our law enforcement partners.”
According to court documents, Rodolfo Segura-Virgen, 38, is a Mexican citizen who in 1990 entered the United States. Following a 2001 conviction for felony unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, Segura-Virgen was removed from the United States at taxpayer expense. Segura-Virgen illegally reentered the United States on an unknown date, and in 2003, when he was convicted of battery on a former spouse, his prior probation was revoked and he was sentenced to two years in prison. In 2004, Segura-Virgen was again removed to Mexico. He illegally reentered the United States again at an unknown date and came to the attention of law enforcement in 2018 when he was arrested in Chesterfield County on state charges.
G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and Lyle A. Boelens, Acting Field Office Director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Washington, D.C., made the announcement after sentencing by Senior U.S. District Judge Robert E. Payne. Assistant U.S. Attorney S. David Schiller prosecuted the case.
