Virgilio Ocampo
A man, Virgilio Ocampo, has been jailed
for life after being convicted of raping his girlfriend's six-year-old
daughter and filming the attack on his cell phone.
According to
Daily Mail Online, the 35-year-old Ocampo was handed down the sentence
at the Bronx Supreme Court after being convicted of predatory sexual
assault against a child and use of a child in a sexual performance
following a three-week trial.
The attack was uncovered after the
victim's mother went through Ocampo's cell phone a month after the
attack and found the video. Later that day she reported the attack to
police before Ocampo fled the state.
He was found ten days later in
Louisiana, where he was arrested and admitted the sexual assault on the
video and as well as attacking her on other occasions.
During sentencing, prosecutors told the
court that Ocampo, from the Bronx, and the girl's mother, had been
dating for around two years and he would stay over at their apartment
several night a week.
According to the NBC, the child's mother
had a victim impact statement read to the court, where she said her
daughter was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.
She said: ' Your Honor, this man
does not deserve to ever walk these streets after all the pain he has
caused my daughter, my little angel.
'He is a sick man and is a danger to women and children he would ever come in contact with.
'This
monster took a six-year-old and raped her continuously. He videotaped
it so he can
watch it over and over again. He is disgusting. Hell is not
even worthy of him.'
Ocampo was then sentenced to 25 years to life in prison by Judge Margaret Clancy.
She told him it had been horrifying to have to watch the rape on video and said he had shown no remorse.
But
according to the New York Daily News, as Ocampo was led away by guards
he maintained he was innocent and started asking why the victim had not
testified.
