Colombian national sentenced to 25 years for raping, impregnating 12-year-old girl in Missouri

In a separate case, a Colombian national has been handed a severe sentence for a heinous crime committed in Missouri. This week, authorities confirmed that Brayanne Escobar-Guarnizo received a 25-year prison sentence for sexually exploiting a minor, specifically for raping and impregnating a 12-year-old girl. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) detailed that Escobar-Guarnizo’s arrest was carried out by the Greene County Sheriff’s Office in September 2024, following allegations of his crime.

Investigations by the DHS revealed disturbing evidence, including photos and messages. These materials suggested that Escobar-Guarnizo had persistently pursued the child, requesting inappropriate images and videos. The case highlights broader concerns about the implications of illegal immigration, as noted in a related incident involving a Honduran national who pleaded guilty to raping a 12-year-old relative.

Escobar-Guarnizo was arrested by the Greene County Sheriff’s Office in September 2024 after authorities received a report alleging he had impregnated the girl.

DHS said investigators uncovered photos and messages allegedly showing that Escobar-Guarnizo repeatedly made advances toward the child and requested nude photos and videos.

According to DHS, Escobar-Guarnizo pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor in August 2025. He was initially charged with production of child pornography.

He was sentenced Monday to 300 months, or 25 years, in prison.

DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis praised the sentence in a statement.

“This dirtbag was charged with production of child pornography and sexual exploitation of a minor after he raped and impregnated a 12-year-old girl,” Bis said in a statement. 

According to DHS, Escobar-Guarnizo illegally entered the United States in 2023 under the Biden administration.

“Thanks to the investigative work of ICE law enforcement officers and our state and local partners, this child predator has now been sentenced to 25 years behind bars,” Bis said. “This illegal alien NEVER should have been allowed into our country by the Biden Administration.”

“Under Secretary Mullin, we will continue to target criminal illegal aliens and get them OUT of our communities,” she added.

DHS said the sentencing followed an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), along with state and local law enforcement agencies.
