James Ramseur, one of four teen-agers shot by Bernhard H. Goetz on a New York subway, was convicted of raping and sodomizing a 20-year-old Bronx neighbor. Sentencing was set for April 28. Convicted after a two-week-long jury trial, he faces 12 1/2 to 25 years in prison. Goetz wounded the four youths in December, 1984, because, he said, he feared that they were going to attack him. Goetz is facing three weapons charges and a charge of reckless endangerment in connection with the shootings.
