Jose Oswaldo Castro-Castro/Ecuador/Rape of a Child

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 31-year-old Jose Oswaldo Castro-Castro, an illegally present Ecuadoran national charged with aggravated rape of a child, ten-year age difference and indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. Officers with ICE Boston arrested Castro in Brockton on Feb. 25.

“Jose Oswaldo Castro-Castro illegally crossed our borders and appallingly victimized a child in Massachusetts,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “Castro has done unspeakable damage to our community that we cannot tolerate. Arrests like this only fortify our commitment to our mission of prioritizing the safety of our public by arresting and removing criminal alien offenders from our New England neighborhoods.”

It is not known when Castro illegally entered the United States.

The Plymouth County Superior Court in Brockton indicted Castro April 20, 2023, for aggravated rape of a child, ten-year age difference and indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 years of age.
