Nov. 18, 2005: Officials are now saying that the teenager and man involved in Thursday's Amber Alert apparently had a consensual sexual relationship. On Friday, NBC 6's Nick Bogert reported that Ramos and Laird had apparently been seeing each other since 2002 when they met at Miami Children's Hospital. At the time, Ramos was a patient at the hospital where Laird was employed as a technician. At age 13, Ramos wrote about Laird in a school essay that her teachers first assumed was fictional. She wrote that Laird introduced himself as Dr. Laird. She called him her prince and the love of her life. "I couldn't believe my eyes. What a fine doctor. But it was an impossible love," she wrote. Detectives said Ramos called Laird after leaving the hospital and they eventually had several sexual encounters at a motel by Miami International Airport. After school officials uncovered the affair, Laird was charged with lewd and lascivious battery on a minor, but he plea-bargained and got probation with the consent of Ramos' mother, Jakelyn. Laird's lawyer, Larry Arnkoff, said the mother seemed OK with Laird's relationship with her daughter until recently, when the mother got a new boyfriend. The mother wouldn't comment when reached by phone Friday, but court records show in July she complained of finding her daughter visiting with Laird in a car outside their Hialeah home. Arnkoff said Laird never admitted to having sex with the girl, but he pledged to break off contact with her several times.
