Illegal Alien Contractor Sentenced For Rape of 11-Year-Old Girl In Va.

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA - On Tuesday,  Circuit Court Judge Stephen C. Mahan sentenced Ricardo Leonel Mejia, 35, to 30 years in prison. Three months earlier the illegal alien pleaded guilty to three counts of rape of a child, burglary and other child-sex crimes. 

On October 9, 2024, the 11-year-old victim’s mom attempted to check on her daughter before going to bed, but she found the girl’s door locked. The mother retrieved a butter knife and used it to open the door. 

In a press release, the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office stated:

Once she opened it, she saw 34-year-old Ricardo Mejia naked in her daughter's bed. The mother then yelled for her husband. Mejia jumped out of bed, grabbed some of his clothes, exited the bedroom through an open window, and ran away. The mother recognized Mejia as a man whom the family had hired to renovate one of the bathrooms in their home.

The victim told police that the defendant had vaginal intercourse with her. A physical examination was conducted on the victim, and forensic analysis determined that Mejia’s DNA and spermatozoa were present on the victim.

Police interviewed Mejia and he admitted to having a relationship with the child and knowing that she was underage. Mejia stated he jumped out of the window because he was scared of a confrontation with the victim’s father. 

The night he was caught was actually the third time he had violated the little girl. “The first time occurred a few days prior in the bathroom of the home when the victim’s parents were not home, and the second and third times occurred at night when he entered her bedroom,” according to court documents.

Mejia is in the country illegally from El Salvador and had been living in the 7000 block of Mamie Boulevard in nearby Norfolk, Virginia at the time of his arrest. 

Mejia is currently being held in the Virginia Beach Correctional Center, while awaiting transfer to a state prison.
