DAYTON, OHIO – A Dayton man has been sentenced for his role in illegal re-entry and violating supervised release, all while being a convicted sex offender. Fausto Osuna-Cruz Jr., 27, was sentenced to a total of 88 months in prison for his crimes.
Cruz, a citizen of Mexico, had been previously deported and removed by immigration authorities from the United States on January 28, 2009, and again on February 6, 2012. He had not obtained permission to reapply for readmission to the United States following his deportation and removal.
Prior to his deportations and removals, Cruz was convicted of aggravated felony offenses punishable by greater than a year imprisonment. This includes unlawful sexual conduct with a minor in Clinton County, Ohio, on July 22, 2008, and illegal reentry of removed alien-removal subsequent to conviction for commission of aggravated felony in federal court on September 17, 2010.
Cruz was sentenced to 24 months imprisonment for the 2010 federal illegal reentry offense. He was released in 2012 and deported to Mexico, after which he promptly returned illegally. Today’s sentence includes 70 months imprisonment on the new illegal reentry charge, followed by 18 months imprisonment for violating the terms of his supervised release stemming from his prior federal illegal reentry conviction.
U.S. Attorney Carter M. Stewart acknowledged the investigation by ERO, as well as Assistant U.S. Attorneys Andrew Hunt and Vipal Patel, who prosecuted the case.
Fred Alverson, Public Affairs Officer, can be reached for further information.
