The District Attorney’s Office has revealed that Victor Hernandez has received a sentence of five years of probation along with a monetary penalty. However, it’s anticipated that he will not remain in the U.S. to fulfill these conditions.
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Following his guilty plea for the false imprisonment of a young girl in Glynn County, a man is facing deportation.
According to the statement from District Attorney Keith Higgins’ office, Victor Hernandez has been sentenced to five years of probation and fined $1,000, but it is unlikely he will be in the United States to comply with the sentence.
The arrest of Hernandez, who was 20 years old at the time, was made by the Brunswick Police Department. He was apprehended on April 16 for attempting to unlawfully detain a 12-year-old girl with the intention of fondling her.
Hernandez opted for a plea agreement, thus avoiding a trial and concluding the legal proceedings. The District Attorney’s Office extended specific appreciation to Brunswick Detective Elizabeth Holt, commending her for her “outstanding work” on the case.
Prior to his arrest, there was a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer hold on Hernandez, according to the District Attorney’s Office. A representative for the office could not say where Hernandez was being sent, but that his deportation was expected shortly after sentencing.
First Coast News is working to get a copy of the arrest report and Hernandez’s mugshot.
