Blount County Man Convicted Of Child Sexual Abuse

BLOUNT COUNTY, AL — A Blount County man has been convicted on sexual abuse charges after paying a woman to bring her daughter to him for the purpose of sexual activity. Rama Raj “Sonny” Erramraju was convicted of sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12, facilitating travel for an unlawful sex act, and first-degree human trafficking.

According to an Alabama Media Group report, Erramraju engaged in sexual contact on multiple occasions with the young girl between June 2015 and August 2016. The reported crimes happened in room 106 at the Covered Bridge Inn in Oneonta where Erramraju lived.

The girl's mother, Amy Floyd Morgan, was indicted on two counts of human trafficking, two counts of criminal conspiracy and one count of facilitating the travel of a child for an unlawful sex act. The grand jury did not indict her on enticing a child for immoral purposes and sex abuse of a child under the age of 12. Morgan’s trial is set for early 2020. Her children were removed from her custody.

Erramraju’s sentencing has been set for Nov. 4, and he faces up to 99 years in prison for each of the Class A felonies – human trafficking and facilitating the travel of a child for an unlawful sex act - and faces up to 20 years for the Class B felony of sex abuse of a child under the age of 12.
