Cop who allegedly showed obscene videos to teens and showed up at victim’s house with ‘a strange grin on his face’ hit with lawsuit

Just days after he was hit with a civil lawsuit for showing a group of teens obscene videos, an Orange County, California, sheriff’s deputy has officially been stripped of his license to work as a law enforcement officer.

Justin Raymond Ramirez, 34, faced criminal charges in February 2023 for showing four teenage girls videos that were pornographic, violent, and otherwise inappropriate — all while working as a school resource officer at Trabuco Hills High School in Mission Viejo. According to prosecutors, during a school lunch break in September 2022, two girls approached Ramirez’s patrol car and the officer showed them a video of a couple engaging in sexual intercourse. The girls then called two additional girls over to the car and Ramirez showed the video to all four students. The students were all 15 or 16 years old.

Prosecutors went on to describe the disturbing video:

After a few moments, another man enters the room with a knife. He stabs the first man and proceeds to repeatedly stab the woman on the bed. The woman ultimately goes lifeless as a pool of blood appears on camera. In addition to showing this video to the students, Ramirez sent the video by phone to another deputy sheriff in 2021.

Prosecutors said that a second video Ramirez shared with the group of teens showed two men smoking a controlled substance together and one man blowing smoke from the substance “into the rear end area of the other man.”

The two videos, along with a third that showed a severe dog bite sustained by a woman, were found on Ramirez’s cellphone by police and matched descriptions provided by the students. Additional searches of Ramirez’s cellphone showed other images that appeared to be inappropriately taken from crime scenes, nude photos of Ramirez on police grounds, and a video of a couple having intercourse that appeared to be recorded through the window of a private home.

When one student’s parent notified the school about the incident, authorities referred the case to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.

At the time, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement, “Ramirez had no business being in a position of trust around children — and he abused that position of trust in a truly disgusting way.” Spitzer also noted at the time that Ramirez resigned from the Sheriff’s Department in December 2022.
