An illegal immigrant from El Salvador was sentenced to 30 years in prison for repeatedly raping an 11-year-old girl in Virginia Beach.

On Wednesday, the Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office shared the mugshot of 35-year-old Ricardo Lionel Mejia, who was sentenced on Tuesday.

Mejia was booked into the Virginia Beach Correctional Center on October 9, 2024, after pleading guilty to three charges of raping a victim under the age of 13, indecent liberties with a child under 15, and statutory burglary.

The sheriff’s office stated that he will serve a 30-year sentence at the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) facility on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) retainer before being transferred to ICE for further proceedings.

— VB Sheriff's Office (@VBSO) October 8, 2025 The El Salvador citizen assaulted a minor in 2024, having been hired to renovate the family’s bathroom.

The victim’s mother forced open her daughter’s locked bedroom door with a butter knife to find Mejia in her bed. He fled out a window, but was later identified and taken into custody.

According to the Republican Governors Association, Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spangberger said that one of her first actions in office would be to overturn Governor Glenn Youngkin’s immigration policies to make Virginia a “sanctuary state.” This would bar local law enforcement from assisting ICE in cases such as this one.

An illegal immigrant from El Salvador in Norfolk r*ped an 11-year old girl. Her life will never be the same.

Abigail Spanberger wants to make us a sanctuary state.

Something else is wrong in this story.

Hoe was that girls kept available for the rapist, to do it over and over again?

Where are the parents and did they know or suspect at all?

I’m sorry but an 11 year old kid is just too young

Now the American Taxpayer has to feed and house this creep for 30 years, why not just a rope and tree and be done with him?

Does his sentence include making him a eunuch, also without “Little Richard”?

Other prisoners may have plans for Little Richard.

In prior centuries there were marriages among young adults in their early and mid teens. But back then they were more like I described: "young adults". Think 14 and 15 year old working in coal mines and on farms instead of playing video games and tee-hee-ing over cat videos. Until most younger aged folks go back to being more responsible like their predecessors, I'm 100% against lowering the age of consent.

It takes a while for children to learn how to make mature decisions.

It takes longer as the number of parents declines.

So the taxpayer is on the hook for 30 years of 3 hots and a cot plus medical?

Rope is much cheaper and it helps keep the prison population down to a manageable level.

my two cents:
The victim and family are of Hispanic descent and the mom was given a ‘donation’, a payment if you will, to have sex with the daughter. Mom wanted the cash and let this happen. there is no father involved... he’s long gone. Just my two cents....

He will be released long before his 30 years are served.
I propose a method where the public can know at a glance who they are dealing with:
Branding the forehead and the back of each hand and making it illegal to have more than 2 covered at any time.
P for Pedophile.
R for Rapist.
M for Murderer.
T for Thief.
I for Illegals that return after deportation.

Maybe Chrissie Van Hollen can get them to cut them loose early. I’m pretty sure his time with Kid Abrego is up. He’s going to need a new pool boy.
