U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has submitted an immigration detainer request in Virginia for 35-year-old El Salvadoran Illegal Alien Ricardo Leonel Mejia after he was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison for three counts of rape on an 11-year-old girl.
Mejia was sentenced earlier this week after pleading guilty on June 17, 2025, after he admitted to raping the young girl on three separate occasions in 2024. “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 a press release from the City of Virginia Beach.
The victim’s parents had hired Mejia to renovate a bathroom in their home, and the mother found the then-34-year-old “naked in her daughter’s bed.”
Now, he will be turned over to federal authorities and deported.
