Police identified Ramos’ clothing as a Harvard custodial uniform, and took the victim to Holyoke Center, where she pointed out Ramos from a group of six to eight workers.
The undergraduate who was the victim of the Jan. 13 assault near Claverly was shown photographs of potential suspects and “immediately” picked out a photo of Ramos, Fulkerson said.
Ramos’ lawyer, Carlos Dominguez, said during the hearing that Ramos, who lives with his girlfriend and nine-month old daughter in Revere, Mass., is not dangerous and has no prior history of violence.
“There’s not clear evidence that he’s a danger to others,” Dominguez said, pointing out that Ramos is not being accused of using weapons or verbally threatening the women he allegedly assaulted.
Dominguez said that because the police interview with Ramos was conducted in Spanish, Fulkerson may not have understood what Ramos told him about the assaults.
But Fulkerson said there was a Spanish speaking officer acting as a translator in the interview room.
Dominguez said today that he expected Ramos would post bail and hand in his passport by the end of the week.
Fulkerson said at the hearing that the Massachusetts drivers license Ramos presented to CPD for identification purposes was fake.
Ramos’ next court appearance will be at a pre-trial hearing on February 23.
If found guilty, he could receive a maximum of five years in jail for each count of indecent assault.
