A former day care worker in Boyle Heights who pleaded no contest to sexually molesting four children, including three who attended the facility where he worked, was sentenced to 22 years in state prison Monday.

During the sentencing hearing, the judge told Enrique Ramos, 46, that he “is deserving of every moment of that time,” for what she described as “despicable crimes.”

Ramos will also have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Ramos, who ran Cano & Ramos Family Child Care with his wife, pleaded no contest on Nov. 3 to five counts of sexual molestation against four children.

Ramos also admitted to a special allegation that the molestations occurred while he was a day care worker.

The sexual abuse involved two 5-year-old girls, a 5-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, and took place between 2008 and 2013.

Ramos was charged in Feb. 2013 after the last victim told her mother, who contacted police.
