COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — An Iraqi-born man brought to the U.S. as a teen by soldiers who labeled him a war hero now stands accused of a brutal sex crime in his adopted hometown.
Jasim Mohammed Hasin Ramadon, known to soldiers as Steve-O, was the subject of a book detailing how he helped Fort Carson troops identify Iraqi insurgents, including his own father. Now, his life reads more like a true crime novel. In July, the 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of 21 charges related to the July 22 sexual assault on a woman in a west-side apartment. Police say the attack, for which four others were arrested, is one of the most horrific in the city’s history.
