Woodland woman convicted of raping teen she has two children with

WOODLAND — A Woodland woman who has had two children with a teenager was sentenced to more than a year for felony child rape March 27 in Cowlitz County Superior Court.

Magali Victoria Ramirez, 22, pleaded guilty to a third-degree rape of a child 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.

According to a police report, on Sept. 20, 2022, the Kelso police received an anonymous tip that Ramirez had given birth to a second child fathered by a then 15-year-old boy, despite a protection order being in place preventing the two from contact. Ramirez is four years and six months older than the teen.

According to a pre-sentencing report, Ramirez met the teen at a 2019 football game at Woodland High School when she was 16 years old and he was 12.

She said she and the victim had the first child in 2020 and a second in 2022 despite a protection order being in effect pleading guilty in 2021 to fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation, according to court records. Woodland police discovered that Ramirez, who was 17 at the time, was dating the 12-year-old boy. The two lived 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 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 also said in the pre-sentencing report that the boy was physically abusive to her.
