Florida police have arrested a 37-year old illegal immigrant for molesting one of the teen girls sent to live with him under the Biden administration’s unaccompanied alien children smuggling scheme.
Although Wilson Manfredo Lopez-Carillo has only been charged in one case, there could be more victims. 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.
As part of Biden’s egregious immigration policies, hundreds of thousands of vulnerable youth and teens were placed with unrelated, loosely-vetted “sponsors” under the unaccompanied alien children program.
In August, the Department of Homeland Security inspector general said the department did not know the location of 300,000 minors, and “[w]ithout an ability to monitor the location and status of UCs, ICE has no assurance UCs are safe from trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.”
According to Lopez-Carillo’s charging documents, first reported by Illegal Alien Crimes and posted on X, the victim was 16 years old when she arrived in the United States in August 2023. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services placed the teen 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.” The alleged assaults occurred after another adult in the home left with her children to sell tamales to support the family, DailyWire.com reported in a special investigation.
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.
During a second incident, the man offered 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,” the document states.
The police reports are heavily redacted, but suggest that the adult woman in the house became suspicious and confronted Lopez-Carillo. The victim was told to leave the house and “sought refuge with…a friend from church.”
Once living with the friend, the victim felt safe enough to report the abuse to the police. The friend later became the girl’s legal guardian and told police another girl sought refuge at his home after a person whose name was redacted had attempted to sexually assault her, according to charging documents.
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 reportedly “tried to downplay their significance.” He also “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,” officers wrote.
Lopez-Carillo is being held without bail in a Palm Beach County, Fla., jail, and a judge has determined that he is an illegal alien, according to court records.
According to DailyWire.com, more than 120,000 “unaccompanied alien children” entered the country annually during the Biden administration. A loophole allowed illegal minors to stay in the country if they said they were under 18 and not with their parents.
DailyWire reporter Luke Rosiak noted the “Democratic National Committee made preserving the unaccompanied minor loophole a plank of its 2024 platform,” even though they were extremely vulnerable to exploitation because they were alone, underage and didn’t speak English. Many were also in debt to cartels and afraid to go to the police because they were illegal immigrants.
To avoid bad publicity, or similar accusations of holding “kids in cages” that President Trump endured during his first term, the Biden administration recklessly allowed them live in the homes of illegal immigrant adults who oftentimes were not related to them or properly vetted.
“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,” according to the DailyWire report. “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.”
Federal whistleblowers told Congress the scheme amounted to taxpayer-funded human trafficking. The New York Times even reported that one-third of the children could not be located 30 days after being placed with a “sponsor.”
In an unrelated case, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Wednesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had issued a detainer in Massachusetts for a criminal illegal immigrant charged with raping a child with force in a crime that was captured on video.
Lorenzo Lopez Alcario, a 30-year-old Guatemalan national accused of tying up and brutally sexually assaulting a young girl in a video that was ultimately found by the girl’s mother, had the ICE detainer placed on him this week, according to a press release from DHS.
