Victor Hernandez has been sentenced to five years of probation and a monetary penalty, but his time in the United States is anticipated to be cut short, as announced by the District Attorney’s Office.
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — A man facing deportation after admitting guilt to the false imprisonment of a young girl in Glynn County has been identified as Victor Hernandez.
The office of District Attorney Keith Higgins revealed that Hernandez received a five-year probation sentence along with a $1,000 fine. However, it is unlikely that he will remain in the U.S. to fulfill these obligations.
At the age of 20, Hernandez was apprehended by the Brunswick Police Department for attempting to falsely imprison a 12-year-old girl with the intention of fondling her on April 16.
Hernandez avoided trial by entering a plea agreement, effectively concluding the legal proceedings. The District Attorney’s Office expressed gratitude to Brunswick Detective Elizabeth Holt for her commendable efforts in handling the case.
Before his arrest, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer had been placed on Hernandez, as noted by the District Attorney’s Office. While officials have not disclosed his destination, his deportation is anticipated to occur soon following his sentencing.
First Coast News is working to get a copy of the arrest report and Hernandez’s mugshot.
