On December 10, 2024, Fidel Chamorro-Ramirez, 19, was convicted of Rape Second Degree in Sussex County Superior Court. The conviction follows an investigation into the rape of a then 12-year-old child; Fidel was 18 at the time of the rape in 2023. 

“The defendant’s actions are incomprehensible,” said Attorney General Kathy Jennings. “Protecting our children is absolutely paramount. I am deeply grateful to our prosecutors and the Delaware State Police for their dedication in this case as we look forward to the sentencing. Our hearts are with the victim and their family.”

On June 1, 2023, Chamorro-Ramirez, who was residing in Seaford, Delaware at the time, raped the victim in their home in Seaford. Without enhancements, Ramirez faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years and up to 25 in prison at sentencing. Sentencing is currently scheduled for February 7, 2025.
