Ripley Co. man sentenced to prison for misconduct with minor

(VERSAILLES, Ind.) – A 23-year-old man is going to prison after admitting to crimes involving a female minor.

Gilberto Trejo appeared in a Ripley County courtroom Thursday and pleaded guilty to two counts of Sexual Misconduct With a Minor. 

The crimes involved a 14-year-old girl, according to court documents. 

When determining the sentence, the judge found that Trejo violated a position of trust as an aggravating circumstance. 

Trejo had no previous criminal history which was deemed a mitigating circumstance in the sentencing. 

He was sentenced to 16 years in prison, with four years suspended to probation.

Trejo was also ordered to register on the Sex Offender Registry for 10 years.
