Illegal Immigrant Charged with Raping 5-Year-Old in Long Island

Wilson Castillo Diaz, who entered the U.S. illegally in 2014, was arrested after failing to appear at an immigration hearing.

Wilson Castillo Diaz, 26, is accused of raping a five-year-old girl on October 16 in Nassau County, Long Island.
Diaz entered the United States illegally in 2014 near the Rio Grande, Texas, and was released pending an immigration hearing he did not attend.
The Nassau County Police Department arrested Diaz on October 22, and he has been charged with first-degree rape, attempted rape, and endangering the welfare of a child.
Diaz is currently held on a $200,000 bail, and authorities are urging potential additional victims to come forward.
The incident has sparked criticism of current immigration policies and has become a focal point in political debates ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
