Local Man Arrested in Sting Operation After Alleged Online Targeting of Minor

Share news:

On Sunday, November 24, 2024, the Mammoth Lakes Police Department got a troubling tip about a local resident, Jose Oscar Ramirez-Hernandez. According to the report, he was trying to use social media to lure a young girl into inappropriate and illegal activities.

Just a few days later, on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, Ramirez-Hernandez arranged to meet with this minor at a local hotel in Mammoth Lakes. What he didn’t know was that detectives from the Mammoth Lakes Police Department and investigators from the Mono County District Attorney’s Office were already on to him. When he showed up at the hotel expecting to meet the girl, he was greeted by law enforcement officers instead. Ramirez-Hernandez was arrested on the spot, and it all happened without any trouble.

He now faces several serious charges, including sending harmful material to seduce a minor, arranging to meet a minor for inappropriate reasons, and actually going to the meeting place with that intent. These charges are officially listed under California laws as 288.2(A)(1)PC, 288.4(A)(1)PC, and 288.4(B)PC.

For now, Ramirez-Hernandez is being held at the Mono County Jail on a $75,000 bail. It’s important to remember that these charges are still allegations. Under the law, everyone is considered innocent until proven guilty in court, so the case will now move forward to determine the truth.

This incident serves as a stark reminder to stay vigilant, especially when it comes to the safety of children online. Law enforcement continues to work hard to protect the community and bring offenders to justice.
