‘Terrifying’: Migrant Convicted Of Child Rape Reportedly Lived At Daycare Facility In Liberal Enclave

A Brazilian migrant convicted of child rape reportedly lived at a daycare facility in the United States while evading justice from authorities in his native country, according to Boston 25 News.

Andre Tiago Lucas, a Brazilian national convicted of raping a 13-year-old child in his home country, was arrested by 🛂Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in late October, the agency previously confirmed at the time. He was convicted by a Brazilian court in December 2016 of rape of a vulnerable person and sentenced to more than nine years in prison, but was able flee the country and make it into the U.S. before serving his criminal sentence.

“This Brazilian fugitive has been convicted of a heinous crime in his native country,” acting Field Office Director Patricia Hyde said at the time. “Rather than face the consequences for his actions, he chose to flee, falsely believing he could evade justice in Massachusetts.”

“ERO Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing egregious noncitizen offenders,” Hyde continued.

It’s not immediately clear how or when Tiago Lucas entered the country, as ICE did not respond to a request for comment from the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation.

Before his ICE apprehension, Tiago Lucas lived at a Massachusetts residence that operated as a family daycare, a local investigation revealed.
