Man Pleads Not Guilty To Two Counts Of Rape, Four Assault Allegations & Confinement

By Alric Lindsay

An January 2027 trial date has been locked in for Osvin Flores Ramos, who entered formal not guilty pleas to an eight-count indictment alleging sexual offences and physical violence against a single female complainant.

Represented by defence attorney Lee Halliday Davis, Ramos stood in the dock and denied four counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH) under Section 216 of the Penal Code, spanning alleged incidents on May 2, May 5, May 26, and September 17, 2026.

He further pleaded not guilty to a charge of wrongful confinement on May 5—where he is accused of unlawfully and physically blocking the woman from exiting a room—and denied a count of causing fear through his words on September 17. Most seriously, Ramos pleaded not guilty to two separate counts of rape under Section 127 of the Penal Code, allegedly occurring on May 31 and June 1, 2026.

Justice Richards extended Ramos’ bail and set the multi-day trial to commence on January 18, 2027.
