SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A CHILD
Today, February 4, 2009, officials with the Midland Independent School District contacted officers with the Midland Police Department regarding an outcry from a 14-year-old female student against an M.I.S.D. employee.

The outcry involved alleged inappropriate conduct on the part of the M.I.S.D. employee.  Upon receiving this information, the Midland Police Department opened an investigation.  This investigation led to the arrest of 30-year-old Angel Ramirez (5-2-78).  The M.I.S.D. Police Officer is charged with Sexual Assault of a Child and Improper Student/Teacher Relationship.  

The incident occurred between September 2008 and January 2009 at a north Midland residence.
