Esbin Ramirez-Garcia has been sentenced to 90 months in federal prison for aggravated sexual abuse on federal land. The sentence was delivered by Senior U.S. District Judge William Alsup.
Ramirez-Garcia, a 28-year-old Mexican national, pleaded guilty on February 25, 2025, to one count of aggravated sexual abuse under 18 U.S.C. § 2241(a). According to the plea agreement, the incident occurred on August 2, 2024. Ramirez-Garcia offered a ride to the victim, with whom he had a prior relationship. During the drive, he asked her to reconcile their relationship. When she refused and requested to exit the vehicle, Ramirez-Garcia forcibly prevented her from leaving and continued driving.
He diverted from the route to her home and drove to a parking lot in Marin Headlands within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. There, he sexually assaulted her while she was seated in his truck’s passenger seat.
The announcement of the sentencing was made by United States Attorney Craig H. Missakian, FBI Special Agent in Charge Sanjay Virmani, and National Park Service Investigative Services Branch Acting Special Agent in Charge Betsy Smith.
Judge Alsup also imposed a ten-year supervised release period following Ramirez-Garcia’s prison term and mandated participation in a sex offense-specific treatment program among other conditions. He was immediately taken into custody after sentencing.
The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Chen and Assistant U.S. Attorney E. Wistar Wilson with assistance from Sara Slattery, Maureen French, and Fernanda Gonzalez. The investigation involved efforts from both the FBI and the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch.
