A Woodland woman who has two children with a teenager was sentenced to over a year for felony child rape. Magali Victoria Ramirez, 22, of Woodland, pleaded guilty to a third-degree rape of a child on Feb. 13, and was sentenced March 27 by Cowlitz County Superior Court Judge Thad Scudder to one year and one day in prison, plus 36 months of community custody.
She was held without bail. According to a police report, on Sept. 20, 2022, the Kelso police received an anonymous tip that Ramirez had a second child with a 15-year-old boy, despite a protection order being in place preventing the two from being near each other.
The couple had an age difference of about four years and six months. According to the pre-sentencing information report, Ramirez met the father of her children at a football game at Woodland High School in 2019 when she was 16 years old, and he was 12. She said she and the victim had their first child in 2020 and a second child in 2022 despite a protection order being in effect after her 2021 conviction.
According to court records, Ramirez previously pleaded guilty to fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation when Woodland police discovered that Ramirez, who was 17 years old at the time, was dating a 12-year-old boy. She was pregnant with his child and the two lived with each other at the victim’s mother’s home. A no-contact order was issued, but Ramirez was arrested three times in 2021 for violating the order, court records show.
The victim’s mother issued a recent statement clarifying that she believes the situation was a misunderstanding and does not think Ramirez should face criminal charges. She noted that her son “appears older than he is,” and acknowledged that he “did wrong by Ramirez.” Ramirez said in the pre-sentencing information report that the father of her children was physically abusive to her.
