Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit March 6, 2001, 99-2868 (Ricardo Lara-Ruiz v. Immigration and Naturalization Service)

BAUER, Circuit Judge.

Ricardo Lara-Ruiz (“Lara-Ruiz”) appeals the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) which found him removable from the United States for committing the “aggravated felony” of “sexual abuse of a minor,” and statutorily ineligible for discretionary relief from removal. Lara-Ruiz argues that he did not commit sexual abuse of a minor under 8 U.S.C.
