A Brazilian woman who is in the U.S. illegally has been arrested in Falmouth and charged with multiple sex crimes against a child.
Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say 53-year-old Ilma Leandro De Oliveira is charged with seven different crimes regarding the sexual victimization of a child.
This is not the first time Leandro has been arrested for illegally entering the U.S. In 2007 she was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol in Texas, and she was returned to Brazil.
“Ilma Leandro De Oliveira is charged with seven different crimes regarding the sexual victimization of a child in our Massachusetts community,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “These are crimes we simply will not tolerate. ICE Boston will continue to prioritize the safety of our children by arresting and removing any criminal alien who poses a threat to our New England residents.”
Officials say she later re-entered the U.S. at an unknown location.
