Teen Molested By Illegal Alien Who Biden Admin Sent Her To Live With, Police Say

A 37-year-old illegal immigrant man was arrested for allegedly sexually abusing at least one teen girl who the federal government sent to live with him as part of the Biden administration’s scheme to place “unaccompanied alien children” in the homes of unrelated, loosely-vetted “sponsors.”

Wilson Manfredo Lopez-Carillo was arrested by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office in Florida on May 22 and charged with three counts of sexual assault on a minor. 

Police said in charging documents that the victim arrived in the United States in August 2023 as a 16-year-old, and was placed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the home of several people, whose names are redacted but appear to include Lopez-Carillo.

The victim “reported three instances of sexual battery by [redacted] all occurring in February 2024. [Redacted] stated that [redacted] was not present during these incidents, as she would be out with her children selling tamales to support the family. She explained that [redacted] took advantage of [redacted’s] absence to abuse her,” a document said.

While she was in the kitchen. Lopez-Carillo “grabbed her, and took her to his bedroom. He removed her pants and underwear and proceeded to sexually batter her,” police wrote. A second incident unfolded similarly, with the man offering her $100 to keep quiet, which she refused, police said. She did not report the incidents to police initially “due to fear of retribution from [redacted], who had threatened her,” it continued.

The heavily redacted police statement suggested that the adult woman in the house became suspicious and confronted Lopez-Carillo. The victim was given three days to leave the house and “sought refuge with…a friend from church.” The friend contacted the woman who “revealed that [redacted] had sexually assaulted [the victim] which led to her expulsion. [The friend] expressed his shock and concern upon hearing this. He decided to allow [the victim] to stay in a room at his home to prevent her from being homeless.”

Once living with the friend, she felt safe enough to report the abuse to the police. The friend later became the girl’s legal guardian after receiving permission from her parents, and told police another girl had also sought refuge at his home after a person whose name was redacted had attempted to sexually assault her.

Police set up a recorded call where the victim asked Lopez-Carillo why he had assaulted her as a minor, and he “responded by attempting to justify his actions.” He did not deny the incidents but “tried to downplay their significance” and “attempted to shift the blame onto [redacted],” police said. 

“When confronted about the possibility of a pregnancy, due to unprotected sex, he mentioned giving [the victim] a pill,” they wrote.

Lopez-Carillo is being held without bail in a Palm Beach County, Florida jail, and a judge has determined that he is an illegal alien, according to court records.

More than 120,000 “unaccompanied alien children” entered the country annually during the Biden administration as part of a loophole that let illegal immigrants stay in the country if they said they were under 18 and were not with their parents.

That incentivized families to separate, paying human traffickers to take the children across the border alone. When the children arrived, they were astonishingly vulnerable to exploitation: they didn’t speak English, they were underage, they were in debt to cartels, and they were afraid to go to the police because they were illegal immigrants.

But Democrats had accused President Donald Trump of holding “kids in cages,” referring to the secure facilities developed by the Obama administration. So, when Joe Biden became president, he sought to avoid the charge of hypocrisy by quickly finding places for the children to live.

The problem was there were no safe homes waiting to take in hundreds of thousands of children. So the Biden administration began sending them to live in the homes of illegal immigrant adults who often were not related to them. It was impossible to vet them since the “sponsors” were illegal themselves, and since the Department of Health and Human Services is not a law enforcement agency.

As a result, contractors received billions of dollars to process the children, and HHS officials used makeshift vetting, such as having sponsors text a picture of a foreign passport to them. But there was no way of knowing whether the sponsors were who they said they were, and no way to check foreign criminal records or the authenticity of documents with the government of their home countries.

Biden’s immigration policies came under renewed scrutiny this week after an illegal immigrant granted a work visa by the Biden administration threw a Molotov cocktail at a group of pro-Israel demonstrators in Colorado. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national and illegal alien, is believed to have entered the United States on a visa before he was granted work authorization by the Biden administration, which he overstayed after it expired in March, The Daily Wire reported.

Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said after children were delivered by contractors to “sponsors” — who government officials had typically never seen until the drop-off — the federal government was no longer responsible. Mayorkas also claimed that stopping the trafficking of children for labor was “outside the responsibility” of DHS.

But Democrats, led by Kamala Harris, pushed to prevent HHS from sharing data with other federal and state government agencies, ostensibly to protect the privacy of the illegal immigrant adults and children. That meant that local school districts and state child welfare offices had no idea that the children existed, making it impossible to ensure that they were attending school and not being trafficked for labor or sex.

Federal whistleblowers told Congress the scheme amounted to taxpayer-funded human trafficking, and the New York Times reported that one-third of the children could not be located 30 days after being placed with a “sponsor.”

Democrats said the solution was more money, obscuring the fact that HHS has no law enforcement powers and could not do anything to punish sponsors who would not say where the child was, even though an American whose child disappeared would go to jail.

In August, the Department of Homeland Security inspector general said the department did not know the location of 300,000 minors, and “Without an ability to monitor the location and status of UCs, ICE has no assurance UCs are safe from trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.”

The inspector general mentioned a case similar to Lopez-Carillo’s, in which “One ICE officer expressed concern with not being able to take action in a case involving a UC whose sponsor claimed the UC was in an inappropriate relationship with her husband.” That same month, the Democratic National Committee made preserving the unaccompanied minor loophole a plank of its 2024 platform.

Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said rescuing the missing “unaccompanied alien children” is a priority.
