Skip to contentAdvertisementAdvertisement'The truth usually prevails': Ralston man sentenced to prison for first-degree sexual assault of a child chargesA Ralston man was sentenced to prison for sexual assault of a child charges.Jose Cabrera-Lomeli received a sentence of at least 160 years in prison, with credit for time served, on Monday in Sarpy County court.Cabrera-Lomeli, 52, was convicted in April of four counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child, one count of attempted sexual assault of a child, and three related charges. Cabrera-Lomeli was arrested in April 2022 for sexual abuse of minors spanning 15 years. “We hope this sentence might bring a sense of closure to the strong and courageous young people whose lives have been impacted by the years of physical and mental abuse that they endured,” Sarpy County Deputy Attorney Ben Perlman said in a statement.Both the Sarpy County Attorney's office and Project Harmony want victims to know that their voices and stories do matter.Each year, Project Harmony says 5,000-6,000 children tell them they've been abused."This does happen. It's very unfortunately common, even here in our community. But we do have resources and others who want to step in and help protect these kids," said Project Harmony Executive Director Gene Klein.While advocates like Project Harmony work to investigate crimes like sexual abuse, it's of course up to prosecutors to make sure the victims see justice."This is the work that we do everyday in the Sarpy County Attorney's office," Perlman told KETV Newswatch 7. "There's always going to be difficulty in presenting evidence when things happened more than 20 years ago. But the fact is when there are multiple victims who are giving consistent versions of events and what happens to them, the truth usually prevails."Klein said a sentencing can, but doesn't always bring closure for victims: "I think anytime there is a major legal hurdle that has been crossed for victims of crime, there could be some assumptions that this is the end and it closes the door. For some it does, but for most, this is just one more step in their healing."Project Harmony reminds parents to encourage kids to talk to them whenever they feel uncomfortable. Klein also said to pay attention if you notice sudden changes in your child's behavior.You can report child abuse in Nebraska at 1-800-652-1999. For Iowa, the number is 1-800-362-2178.For more advice and resources from Project Harmony, go here.
