An illegal migrant who failed to appear at his immigration hearing after being cut loose at the border has been arrested for allegedly raping a five-year-old girl on Long Island, police said.
Wilson Castillo Diaz, 26, is accused of attacking the little girl on Oct. 16, according to Nassau County cops.
Details of the alleged rape — including Diaz’s relationship with the girl and where it occurred — weren’t immediately available.
The child was taken to a local hospital for a medical evaluation after the alleged attack, police said.
Diaz, who was living in Westbury, had illegally crossed into the US near Rio Grande, Texas in April 2014, according to cops.
He was taken into custody by US border agents but later cut loose after being served with a notice to appear before an immigration judge.
Diaz then failed to appear at his immigration court hearing, according to cops.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement have already been notified of his recent arrest, police said, without saying which country the suspect was originally from.
Diaz was arraigned last Wednesday on a slew of charges, including rape, attempted rape and endangering the welfare of a child.
He was being held on a $200,000 cash bond.
