Nashville Nanny Rapist Pleads Guilty

An earlier version of the story incorrectly stated the length of Ramos' sentence. The story has been corrected to reflect this.

NASHVILLE, TN -- A 26-year-old man pleaded guilty Thursday to the 2016 rape of an 18-year-old nanny in a South Nashville park where she was caring for 3-year-old twin boys.

Dennis Naptali Ramos-Montes will serve 19 years on each of two counts on aggravated rape and six years for aggravated assault for the attack at Hamilton Creek Recreation Center Aug. 4, 2016. All the sentences will be served concurrently for a total of 19 years.

Ramos-Montes' victim testified in a November 2016 hearing saying she saw him watching her from a car in the parking lot and that he approached her on the bike trail in the park. She told the court he kept repeating "el Chino" - Spanish for "the Chinese" - and that initially she wasn't scared, until Ramos-Montes threw her down.

"He covered my mouth, threw me to the ground, knocked my tooth out, and he vaginally raped me and orally raped me," she said at the hearing.

She testified she told the twins to run once she realized what Ramos-Montes was going to do and that she was able to locate them after the attack. She then went to their father's house and called the police.
